À propos de cet audio
The (Second) Book of Samuel: chapter 24
Welcome to 2 Samuel, Shmuel part Bet, chapter twenty four
Episode 50: The Better Angels of Our Nature
Previously on the book of Shmuel part Bet we read David’s swan song and pointed out the similarities to Chana’s song. We also met David’s mighty men and closed the previous chapter by both awkwardly omitting Yoav and pointing out that the final warrior is intentionally listed as Uriah HaHittie.
In this, our final chapter and penultimate shiur, we are presented with another of David’s tribulations. With Hashem angry for an undisclosed reason, David is prompted to sin by conducting a census. From there David is given a ‘Sophie’s Choice’ of punishments, itself a hidden test. David seems to select correctly but cannot avoid a massive toll on the people. Yet in an effort to stop the carnage he is brought to the precipice of his dream of beginning the building of the temple.
