A New Beginning (Level 3 | 117)

Bible Literacy Foundation Season 2 Episode 177

We explore King David's efforts to renew his kingship and reunify the 12 tribes of Israel at Gilgal after Absalom's defeat. Delve into the historical significance of Gilgal as a place of new beginnings, from Joshua's time to the establishment of Saul's kingdom. Witness David's strategic pardoning of enemies and rewarding of allies to foster peace amidst tribal tensions. Learn about the challenges David faces, including Sheba's rebellion and Joab's violent actions. Discover how a wise woman's intervention ultimately secures David's rule over a united Israel.
