2 Samuel-2 Kings: The Difference Leaders Make will guide students through a study of Israel’s kingdom era—as a united nation and as a nation divided into Israel and Judah. It not only covers this critical time in Israel’s history, but also provides an essential foundation for studying Israel’s prophets.

As usual, Dr. Stuart is concise and clear in delivery. I like the way he masterfully drew broad strokes of the Old Testament such that we can remember, e.g. David's Triumph, David's Transgression, David's Troubles. He gave an interesting interpretation of why David's census-taking was wrong, and drew interesting contrasts of wisdom and folly even in the life of Solomon.

A good amount of food for thought.

This was a really good course with lots of information that is very relevant to Christian believers today. We get to see both the good and the bad kings of Israel and learn how their faithfulness or unfaithfulness to God impacted Israel both positively and negatively.

The course gave a good broad overview of the books of 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, and 2 Kings which otherwise includes incredible details of people, times, events, and places.
