The book of 2 Samuel charts the remarkable trajectory of David’s reign as king. Blessed through God’s anointing, his leadership binds together a broken nation and gives them victory. But when David becomes unwary, he is overcome by sin: the adultery and murder he commits serve as a timeless warning regarding the perils of temptation. The sword of God’s judgment falls on David and his house, but even as David is humbled, he returns penitently to the Lord. Richard Phillips’ expository commentary carries us with David up to the heights and down to the depths, noting the lessons for our faith today―forgiveness doesn’t cancel consequences; leadership doesn’t exclude accountability; even flawed characters can end well―and exalting Jesus Christ, David’s greater Son, as the true King our salvation requires.

From the Publisher

2 Samuel

REC

All the books in the Reformed Expository Commentary series are accessible to both pastors and lay readers. Each volume in the series provides exposition that gives careful attention to the biblical text, is doctrinally Reformed, focuses on Christ through the lens of redemptive history, and applies the Bible to our contemporary setting.

Blessed through God’s anointing, King David binds together a broken nation and gives his people victory—until, distracted, he is overcome by sin.

The sword of God’s judgment then falls on David and his house, but even as David is humbled, he returns penitently to the Lord.

Richard Phillips’s expository commentary carries us with David up to the heights and down to the depths, noting the lessons for our faith today—forgiveness doesn’t cancel consequences; leadership doesn’t exclude accountability; even flawed characters can end well—and exalting Jesus Christ, David’s greater Son, as the true King our salvation requires.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Second Samuel contains enough political intrigue and scandal to fill a tabloid. However, behind the machinations of kings stands the King who is preparing a kingdom for his Son. Rick Phillips unveils that kingdom with clear teaching and pointed application. Here is a sermonic commentary designed not only to educate, but to edify. It admirably succeeds in both. -- Joel R. Beeke, President, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary

“These volumes by Rick Phillips are almost self-authenticating―such has been the consistent excellence of previous volumes. This book is remarkable, too. Aware of the sensitivities of redemptive-historical (Christ-centered) interpretations of narrative texts, Dr. Phillips finds no difficulty in exemplary application, and this is a very welcome inclusion. A marvelous addition.” -- Derek W.H. Thomas, Chancellor’s Professor of Systematic and Pastoral Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary; Senior Minister, First Presbyterian Church (ARP), Columbia, South Carolina

Rick Phillips was raised in an Army family an grew up on posts around America. After graduating from the University of Michigan, he followed his father and grandfather by serving as a tank officer. While in graduate school in Philadelphia, his mother urged him to start attending church again, so Rick visited nearby Tenth Presbyterian Church. The message he heard that night changed his life, a sermon from the Old Testament book of Hosea about God's redeeming love for sinners through the cross of Jesus Christ. Surrendering his life to the love of Christ, Rick became active in Officer's Christian Fellowship during the years he was teaching leadership at West Point. He began leading a Bible study for students, then was asked to write a daily devotional, and then to preach at Christian meetings. Through these experiences, he and his wife concluded that God was calling Rick into a full-time pulpit ministry, so they left the Army and embarked on fulfilling God's call to the ordained ministry.

Rick tries the write the kind of books that have ministered so powerfully in his own life. Mainly, these are books of biblical exposition. His writing heroes are James M. Boice, Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Charles Haddon Spurgeon, and similar writers of biblical teaching. Some of his books seek to provide clear biblical teaching to important matters of practical living, such as manhood and relationships. He is grateful to God for the privilege of ministering to so many people through his books, desiring above all that God's Word would be clearly, faithfully, and passionately set forth.

Dr. Phillips serves as senior minister of Second Presbyterian Church in downtown Greenville, SC. Previously, he pastored in Coral Springs, FL and Philadelphia, PA. He usually preaches morning and evening and his sermons can be heard on Sermon Audio and on the church website: www.secondpca.org. (Live services are also available on video.) Rick frequently speaks at conferences on the Bible and theology and is active in overseas missions, especially in East Africa. In addition to his ministry duties, Rick likes to spend time with his wife and five children. He is a loyal follower of his alma mater, the Michigan Wolverines, and is an avid fan of the Boston Red Sox.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great resource to understand 2 Samuel. This is the one to buy!
    Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2019
    This book covers 2nd Samuel in detail. He digs deeply into the meanings of the chapters and verse from the Bible. Then he goes the extra step to tie the meanings to today. One phrase he notes is when King David is killed that God wanted this to occur and quoted “The wages of sin is death.” This is a common phrase in today’s time and most do not know where it came from. It gives the reader the desire to read further and understand what was truly meant by the words written in the Bible.

    I loved this book and found it to be a great explanation of the chapter 2 Samuel in the Bible. It can be read before or after reading the chapter in the Bible. Either way it will strengthen your understanding the events and words of King Samuel.

    Thank you to the author for giving me a book that makes it easier for me to understand this chapter in the Bible in a way that does not fluster or baffle me but allows me to feel joy with understanding.

    I received an ARC from P&R Publishing through NetGalley in exchange for an honest opinion. This in no way affects my opinion or rating or this book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Expository Commentary
    Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2019
    The book of Second Samuel is an exciting and intriguing narrative. It tells a unified story about earthly kings that shows us the good, the bad, and the ugly of humanity. This book makes us long for the righteous King. It points forward to a time when God’s people will live under God’s presence and rule in Jesus Christ.

    In this commentary, Rick Phillips carefully guides his readers to understand the message and the application of this book. The author does this not with academic dryness or in disinterested posture. Instead, one can see the excitement that the author has for the word of God. Phillips’ exegesis is clear, understandable, concise, Christologically robust, theologically devotional and devotionally edifying.

    This expository commentary is for anyone who is interested in enriching their understanding of God’s Word. Pastors can find much wisdom in this commentary. It would serve as an excellent aid for sermon preparation. Lay people can use this commentary to better lead Bible studies and to more fully appreciate this part of the Bible.

    I will certainly use this commentary for my sermon preparation.

    I thank P & R Publishing for providing me with a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review
