Bible Teaching of the Day
Concentrate on the Cross – Part 18
The idea that Golgotha had a twin significance—as the site of Jesus’ death and as Adam’s burial place—stems from an ancient legend fueled by medieval allegory and various theological considerations.
The notion that Jesus was crucified on top of the tomb of Adam crops up fairly early in Christian history. Origen, Chrysostom, and Jerome all make reference to the idea—although, notably, none of those three ever conceded the truth of the tale. Epiphanius of Salamis (c. 315—403) wrote that “our Lord Jesus Christ was crucified on Golgotha, nowhere else than where Adam’s body lay buried. For after leaving Paradise, living opposite it for a long time and growing old, Adam later came and died in this place, I mean Jerusalem, and was buried there, on the site of Golgotha. This was probably the way the place, which means ‘Place of a Skull,’ got its name, since the contour of the site bears no resemblance to a skull” (Panarion, Book I, §45, “Against Severians”).
Jewish tradition says that Adam was buried in Hebron, in the Cave of Machpelah, the same place where Abraham and his family were later buried (see Genesis 49:30–31). There are a couple of different Islamic legends that also deal with Adam’s final resting place. According to one tradition related by Ibn Kathir, Noah took Adam’s remains on board the ark with him and later reburied Adam in Jerusalem.
A Christian tradition—the one mentioned by Origen, et al.—places the tomb of Adam in Jerusalem immediately beneath the place where Jesus’ cross stood. In some versions of the story, Adam’s burial site is called the Cave of Treasures. Today in Jerusalem, along the Via Dolorosa, there is a small room near the Stone of Unction before Station 14 called the Chapel of Adam, where Adam was supposedly buried. To the east of the chapel, through a window, what is known as the Golgotha Rock is visible. The rock is cracked (a feature attributed to the earthquake mentioned in Matthew 27:51). According to the story, the crack allowed Jesus’ blood to drip down into Adam’s grave, onto Adam’s skull—and in this way redeeming the first man.
During the Middle Ages, a couple different legends intertwined to form a complicated history of the cross upon which Jesus died. The Legend of the Holy Rood Tree starts after the fall. As Adam lies on his deathbed, his son Seth goes back to Eden hoping to find something to give life to his father. The angel guarding Eden denies Seth entrance, of course, but he does give Seth three seeds from the Tree of Life to bury with Adam. Those seeds grow after Adam’s death, and the wood from those trees is used throughout biblical history for everything from healing the waters of Marah to building a bridge for the Queen of Sheba. Eventually, the same tree is used to make Jesus’ cross. The cross is set up over Adam’s tomb; so, by coincidence, the tree is back to the place where it originally grew.
Many painters of the Renaissance alluded to the legend that Jesus was crucified over the tomb of Adam. Greek Orthodox icons featuring the crucifixion almost always include Adam’s skull situated below Jesus’ cross. Many artists, including Carlo Crivelli, Andrea Solario, Philippe de Champaigne, Rogier van der Weyden, Jacobello Alberegno, Fra Angelico, Hans Wertinger, Marcello Venusti, and Pesellino, used the same imagery, placing a skull at the base of Jesus’ cross. So Adam’s tomb is a common motif in classical paintings of Jesus’ crucifixion.
The legend that Adam’s tomb was beneath the place where Jesus was crucified is just that—a legend—but there are some theological truths that make the legend appealing. Adam is the one who brought death into the world, and Jesus Christ brought life through His death (Romans 5:12, 15–17). In fact, Jesus is called “the last Adam” in 1 Corinthians 15:45. It is the blood of Christ, shed on the cross, that redeems fallen mankind from the curse of Adam. The “old man” has been superseded by the “new man” (Ephesians 4:20–24, NKJV). Because of Christ’s sacrifice, death has been defeated (1 Corinthians 15:55–57).
The exact place of Jesus’ crucifixion is uncertain. The place of Adam’s burial is impossible to ascertain, as the Bible gives no hint. Classical art may depict the bones of Adam as a symbol of death, placing the cross of Christ as a victorious ensign over a defeated foe, but we do not take such artistic flourishes literally. Jesus was very likely not crucified on top of the tomb of Adam.
Bybel Lering vir die Dag
Konsentreer op die Kruis – Deel 18
Die idee dat Golgota ‘n dubbele betekenis gehad het – as die plek van Jesus se dood en as Adam se begraafplaas – spruit uit ‘n antieke legende wat aangevuur is deur middeleeuse allegorie en verskeie teologiese oorwegings.
Die idee dat Jesus bo-op die graf van Adam gekruisig is, duik redelik vroeg in die Christelike geskiedenis op. Origenes, Chrysostomus en Hieronymus verwys almal na die idee – alhoewel, veral, nie een van daardie drie ooit die waarheid van die verhaal toegegee het nie. Epiphanius van Salamis (omstreeks 315—403) het geskryf dat “ons Here Jesus Christus op Golgotha gekruisig is, nêrens anders as waar Adam se liggaam begrawe gelê het nie. Want nadat hy die Paradys verlaat het, lank daarteenoor gewoon het en oud geword het, het Adam later gekom en gesterf in hierdie plek, ek bedoel Jerusalem, en is waarskynlik daar begrawe, op die plek van Golgolac, op die plek van Golgolac. ‘n Skedel,’ het sy naam gekry, aangesien die kontoer van die terrein geen ooreenkoms met ‘n skedel het nie” (Panarion, Boek I, §45, “Against Severians”).
Joodse tradisie sê dat Adam begrawe is in Hebron, in die Grot van Machpela, dieselfde plek waar Abraham en sy gesin later begrawe is (sien Genesis 49:30–31). Daar is ‘n paar verskillende Islamitiese legendes wat ook handel oor Adam se laaste rusplek. Volgens een tradisie wat deur Ibn Kathir vertel is, het Noag Adam se oorskot saam met hom aan boord van die ark geneem en Adam later in Jerusalem herbegrawe.
’n Christelike tradisie—die een wat deur Origenes, et al. genoem word—plaas die graf van Adam in Jerusalem onmiddellik onder die plek waar Jesus se kruis gestaan het. In sommige weergawes van die verhaal word Adam se begraafplaas die Cave of Treasures genoem. Vandag in Jerusalem, langs die Via Dolorosa, is daar ‘n klein kamertjie naby die Stone of Unction voor Stasie 14 genaamd die Kapel van Adam, waar Adam vermoedelik begrawe is. Oos van die kapel, deur ‘n venster, is wat bekend staan as die Golgota-rots sigbaar. Die rots is gekraak (‘n kenmerk wat toegeskryf word aan die aardbewing wat in Matteus 27:51 genoem word). Volgens die verhaal het die kraak Jesus se bloed toegelaat om in Adam se graf af te drup, op Adam se skedel – en op hierdie manier die eerste mens verlos.
Gedurende die Middeleeue het ‘n paar verskillende legendes vervleg om ‘n ingewikkelde geskiedenis te vorm van die kruis waarop Jesus gesterf het. Die Legende van die Holy Rood Tree begin na die val. Terwyl Adam op sy sterfbed lê, gaan sy seun Seth terug na Eden in die hoop om iets te vind om sy pa lewe te gee. Die engel wat Eden bewaak, ontken Seth se toegang, natuurlik, maar hy gee vir Seth drie saadjies van die Boom van die Lewe om saam met Adam te begrawe. Daardie sade groei na Adam se dood, en die hout van daardie bome word deur die Bybelse geskiedenis gebruik vir alles van die genesing van die waters van Mara tot die bou van ‘n brug vir die Koningin van Skeba. Uiteindelik word dieselfde boom gebruik om Jesus se kruis te maak. Die kruis is opgestel oor Adam se graf; so, toevallig, is die boom terug na die plek waar dit oorspronklik gegroei het.
Baie skilders van die Renaissance het verwys na die legende dat Jesus oor die graf van Adam gekruisig is. Grieks-Ortodokse ikone wat die kruisiging vertoon, sluit byna altyd Adam se skedel onder Jesus se kruis in. Baie kunstenaars, insluitend Carlo Crivelli, Andrea Solario, Philippe de Champaigne, Rogier van der Weyden, Jacobello Alberegno, Fra Angelico, Hans Wertinger, Marcello Venusti en Pesellino, het dieselfde beelde gebruik en ‘n skedel aan die basis van Jesus se kruis geplaas. Dus is Adam se graf ‘n algemene motief in klassieke skilderye van Jesus se kruisiging.
Die legende dat Adam se graf onder die plek was waar Jesus gekruisig is, is net dit – ‘n legende – maar daar is ‘n paar teologiese waarhede wat die legende aantreklik maak. Adam is die een wat die dood in die wêreld gebring het, en Jesus Christus het lewe deur sy dood gebring (Romeine 5:12, 15–17). Trouens, Jesus word in 1 Korintiërs 15:45 “die laaste Adam” genoem. Dit is die bloed van Christus, wat aan die kruis gestort is, wat die gevalle mensdom verlos van die vloek van Adam. Die “ou mens” is vervang deur die “nuwe mens” (Efesiërs 4:20–24). As gevolg van Christus se offer is die dood oorwin (1 Korintiërs 15:55–57).
Die presiese plek van Jesus se kruisiging is onseker. Die plek van Adam se begrafnis is onmoontlik om vas te stel, aangesien die Bybel geen wenk gee nie. Klassieke kuns mag die gebeente van Adam uitbeeld as ‘n simbool van die dood, wat die kruis van Christus as ‘n oorwinnende vaandel oor ‘n verslane vyand plaas, maar ons neem sulke artistieke bloeisels nie letterlik op nie. Jesus is heel waarskynlik nie bo-op die graf van Adam gekruisig nie.
Today’s Devotional
“IF YOU CAN ONLY BELIEVE”
Got any rivers you think are uncrossable?
Got any mountains you can’t tunnel through?
God specializes in things thought impossible
He does the things others cannot do.
Depressed, broken or torn to pieces? God specializes in the impossible! Not feeling well; are you sick or dying? God specializes in the impossible! Financially struggling, sequestered or even bankrupt? God specializes in the impossible! Children lost; straying from God or yourself? God specializes in the impossible! Drugs, alcohol, molestation or other problems in the family? God specializes in the impossible! Spiritually lost, outside of God’s will? God specializes in the impossible!
There is a worldly view that says: “If you believe, you can achieve it” or “If you believe, you can do it” Maria Carrey herself sings:
Oh yes, there can be miracles when you believe
Though hope is frail, it’s hard to kill
Who knows what miracle you can achieve when you believe
Somehow you will, you will when you believe
And for some strange reason the song found its way into the church and is sung as if it were gospel. But faith is not about what you can achieve. Faith also does not give us supernatural power to do something. True faith should be in God. We are taught that faith sees the solution and not the problem. Faith sees health and not illness, sees prosperity and not adversity. And yet, when we believe like that we often become involved in one of the greatest errors of our time because any faith that is not based in God is actually unbelief. Faith must at all times revolve around Christ, put God in focus. Instead of seeing the solution rather than the problem, we should see Jesus the Problem Solver. Instead of seeing healing rather than illness, we should see Jesus the Healer. Instead of seeing prosperity rather than adversity, we should see Jesus the Provider. Believing in anything or anyone else is nothing but idolatry, an affront to God and our Lord Jesus Christ through whom all things are possible.
Having faith in our faith is a far cry from believing in God. Believing in yourself is a far cry from believing in Jesus. Thinking that positive confession will make a difference is almost like believing that the devil will lead you to God.
Let’s take a quick look at Mark 9:23 And Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.” Unfortunately, we have mistakenly come to believe that we can achieve anything by just believing, when faith is unqualified and unfocused. The verse may not and cannot be read alone but must be read together with verse 22 where the man says: “But if you can do anything, have mercy on us and help us.” The man therefore doubts Jesus a little and says: “if it is possible or if you are able.” Then Jesus answers him by saying: “If you can believe.” By this, Jesus confirms that the man must believe that He (Jesus) can. The faith needed is therefore faith that says: “I believe You (Jesus) can. I know that all things are possible for You therefore I do not rely on my faith but on You who are able to do all things”
Spurgeon once said: “The best sermons are sermons which are fullest of Christ. A sermon without Christ as its beginning, middle and end is a mistake in conception and a crime in execution.” I want to state the following unequivocally: “The best faith is faith which is fullest of Christ. Faith without Christ as its beginning, middle and end is a mistake in conception and a crime in execution”
God specializes in the impossible and He can do what no other can do except by putting our faith in Him, in God through Jesus Christ, our Savior.
Vandag se Bemoediging
“AS JY NET KAN GLO”
Got any rivers you think are uncrossable?
Got any mountains you can’t tunnel through?
God specializes in things thought impossible
He does the things others cannot do.
Depresief, gebroke of stukkend geskeur? God spesialiseer in die onmoontlikke! Voel U nie goed nie; is U siek of sterwend? God spesialiseer in die onmoontlikke! Finansiëel sukkelend, gesekwistreer of selfs bankrot? God spesialiseer in die onmoontlikke! Kinders verlore; weggedwaal van God of jouself? God spesialiseer in die onmoontlikke! Dwelms, drank, molestasies of ander probleme in die familie? God spesialiseer in die onmoontlikke! Geestelik verlore, buite God se wil? God spesialiseer in die onmoontlikke!
Daar is ‘n wêreldse beskouing wat sê: “As jy glo kan jy dit bereik” of “As jy glo, kan jy dit doen” Maria Carrey sing selfs:
Oh yes, there can be miracles when you believe
Though hope is frail, it’s hard to kill
Who knows what miracle you can achieve when you believe
Somehow you will, you will when you believe
En om een of ander vreemde rede het die lied sy pad tot in die kerk gevind en word dit gesing asof dit evangelie is. Maar geloof gaan nie oor dit wat jy kan bereik nie. Geloof gee ons ook nie s bonatuurlike krag om iets te kan doen nie. Ware geloof behoort in God te wees. Ons word geleer dat geloof die oplossing sien en nie die probleem nie. Geloof sien gesondheid en nie siekte nie, sien voorspoed en nie teenspoed nie. En tog, wanneer ons so glo raak ons dikwels betrokke in een van die grootste dwalinge van ons tyd want enige geloof wat nie in God gesetel is nie is eintlik ongeloof. Geloof moet ten alle tye om Christus wentel, God in fokus stel. Instede om die oplossing eerder as die probleem te sien moet ons Jesus die Probleemoplosser sien. Instede daarvan om genesing eerder as siekte te sien behoort ons eerder Jesus die Geneser te sien. Instede daarvan om eerder voorspoed as teenspoed te sien behoort ons Jesus die Voorsiener te sien. Om in enigiets of enig ander te glo is niks anders as afgodery, ‘n belediging aan God en ons Here Jesus Christus deur wie alles moontlik is.
Om geloof in ons geloof te hê is ver verwyderd van geloof in God. Om in jouself te glo is ligjare verwyderd daarvan om in Jesus te glo. Om te dink dat positiewe belydenis ‘n verskil maak is bykans soos om te glo dat die duiwel jou na God toe sal lei.
Kom ons kyk vlugtig na Markus 9:23 En Jesus sê vir hom: “Wat dit betref—as jy kan glo, alle dinge is moontlik vir die een wat glo.” Ongelukkig het ons verkeerdelik begin glo dat ons enigiets kan bereik deur net te glo terwyl geloof ongekwalifiseerd en ongefokus is. Die vers mag en kan nie alleen gelees word nie maar moet saam met vers 22 gelees word waar die man sê: “Maar as U iets kan doen, ontferm U oor ons en help ons.” Die man twyfel dus ‘n bietjie in Jesus en sê: “as dit moontlik is of as U in staat is.” Dan antwoord Jesus Hom hierop deur te sê: “As jy kan glo” Hierdeur bevestig Jesus die man moet glo dat Hy (Jesus) kan. Die geloof benodig is dus geloof wat sê: “Ek glo U (Jesus) kan. Ek weet dat alles is moontlik vir U daarom maak ek nie staat op my geloof maar op U wat tot alles in staat is”
Spurgeon het eens gesê: “The best sermons are sermons which are fullest of Christ. A sermon without Christ as its beginning, middle and end is a mistake in conception and a crime in execution.” Ek wil die volgende onomwonde stel: “The best faith is faith which is fullest of Christ. Faith without Christ as its beginning, middle and end is a mistake in conception and a crime in execution”
God spesialiseer in die onmoontlikke en Hy kan doen wat geen ander kan doen as on sons geloof in Hom stel, in God deur Jesus Christus, ons verlosser.

INTRODUCTION TO THE GOSPEL ARTIST
MEET ” The Collingsworth Family
The Collingsworth Family is a Southern Gospel/Inspirational group started by Phil and Kim Collingsworth and features their family as the group. They are currently signed to gospel label Gaither Music Group. Phil and Kim have four Children (Brooklyn Rose), (Courtney Noel), (Phillip Jr.), and (Olivia Diane).
History
Phil and Kim both came from a Christian upbringing. They met in high school and married upon graduating high school. Kim recalls, “We had our first date when I was 16, and he was 21. Poor guy, he had to wait on me to grow up. We were so in love and really wanted to get married. So, I decided to cram four years of high school into three so I could graduate from high school in 1986. The same year he would graduate from college. That plan worked well.”
Ministry
Phil and Kim Collingsworth started in the music ministry when they were musicians at a church camp in Petersburg, Michigan, in August 1986. The two performed as a duo for 14 years, balancing gigs with raising children and Phil’s job at a life insurance agency. In 2000, they made the decision to tour full time. That’s also when their children — 10, 9, 6 and 2 at the time — became permanent members of the act.
Phil and Kim have provided music presentations for church camps and extended-length revival campaigns. They have also held the positions of Minister of Music at Hobe Sound Bible Church in Hobe Sound, FL, and Director of the Music Division at Union Bible College and Seminary in Westfield, Indiana. Phil was Dean of Enrollment Management at his alma mater, God’s Bible School and College, Cincinnati, Ohio.
Career
The Collingsworths signed with Crossroads Entertainment and Marketing in 2003. In 2009, the Collingsworth Family signed with then new Christian label Stowtown Records.
In 2014, The Collingsworth Family recorded two live projects in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Majestic, a live CD and DVD from piano performer Kim Collingsworth and friends stemmed from a show in Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium with a crowd of more than 2,300 over a 5-hour concert. A DVD, We Will Serve the Lord, was released in October, 2014.
In 2018, they released their album Mercy and Love, a collection of covers and new songs.
The group’s influence extends beyond the United States. In 2003, they performed in Kosovo, where more than 6,500 U.S. Army personnel heard their Christmas concerts at two military bases. In 2004, they gave a concert in the Cayman Islands.
Recognition
The Collingsworth Family received the 2007 Harmony Award in the New Artist of the Year category from the Southern Gospel Music Guild.[4] Their album The Best of The Collingsworth Family – Volume 1 was nominated for Best Roots Gospel Album in the 2018 Grammy Awards.

Bible Prophecy in the News
Judea & Samaria are Key to the Next Stage of Jewish Redemption
| This Passover, as we celebrate our ancient redemption from Egypt, we must open our eyes to the modern redemption unfolding in our very own homeland — Judea and Samaria. In this powerful interview, I speak with Rabbi Tuly Weisz of Israel365 who shares why standing up for our biblical heartland today is not just political — it’s spiritual, it’s redemptive, and it’s our generation’s calling. Israel365 is also running a new party in the World Zionist Congress to ensure the global Jewish community and institutions place more of a focus on Judea & Samaria and looking after all Jews. |

Introduction to the Bible – Bible Summary
Summary of the Book of 2
Samuel
Author: The Book of 2 Samuel does not identify its author. It could not be the Prophet
Samuel, since he died in 1 Samuel. Possible writers include Nathan and Gad (see 1
Chronicles 29:29).
Date of Writing: Originally, the books of 1 and 2 Samuel were one book. The
translators of the Septuagint separated them, and we have retained that separation ever
since. The events of 1 Samuel span approximately 100 years, from c. 1100 B.C. to c. 1000
B.C. The events of 2 Samuel cover another 40 years. The date of writing, then, would be
sometime after 960 B.C.
Purpose of Writing: 2 Samuel is the record of King David’s reign. This book places the
Davidic Covenant in its historical context.
Key Verses:
“Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me; your throne will be
established forever” (2 Samuel 7:16).
“But the king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, O my son Absalom,
O Absalom, my son, my son!” (2 Samuel 19:4).
“”The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take
refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation. He is my stronghold, my refuge and my
savior—from violent men you save me. I call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I
am saved from my enemies” (2 Samuel 22:2-4).
Brief Summary: The book of 2 Samuel can be divided into two main sections—David’s
triumphs (chapters 1-10) and David’s troubles (chapters 11-20). The last part of the book
(chapters 21-24) is a non-chronological appendix which contains further details of
David’s reign.
The book begins with David receiving news of the death of Saul and his sons. He
proclaims a time of mourning. Soon afterward, David is crowned king over Judah, while
Ish-bosheth, one of Saul’s surviving sons, is crowned king over Israel (chapter 2). A civil
war follows, but Ish-bosheth is murdered, and the Israelites ask David to reign over
them as well (chapters 4-5).
David moves the country’s capital from Hebron to Jerusalem and later moves the Ark of
the Covenant (chapters 5-6). David’s plan to build a temple in Jerusalem is vetoed by
God, who then promises David the following things: 1) David would have a son to rule
after him; 2) David’s son would build the temple; 3) the throne occupied by David’s
lineage would be established forever; and 4) God would never take His mercy from
David’s house (2 Samuel 7:4-16).
David leads Israel to victory over many of the enemy nations which surrounded them.
He also shows kindness to the family of Jonathan by taking in Mephibosheth, Jonathan’s
crippled son (chapters 8-10).
Then David falls. He lusts for a beautiful woman named Bathsheba, commits adultery
with her, and then has her husband murdered (chapter 11). When Nathan the prophet
confronts David with his sin, David confesses, and God graciously forgives. However, the
Lord tells David that trouble would arise from within his own household.
Trouble does come when David’s firstborn son, Amnon, rapes his half-sister, Tamar. In
retaliation, Tamar’s brother Absalom kills Amnon. Absalom then flees Jerusalem rather
than face his father’s anger. Later, Absalom leads a revolt against David, and some of
David’s former associates join the rebellion (chapters 15-16). David is forced out of
Jerusalem, and Absalom sets himself up as king for a short time. The usurper is
overthrown, however, and—against David’s wishes—is killed. David mourns his fallen
son.
A general feeling of unrest plagues the remainder of David’s reign. The men of Israel
threaten to split from Judah, and David must suppress another uprising (chapter 20).
The book’s appendix includes information concerning a three-year famine in the land
(chapter 21), a song of David (chapter 22), a record of the exploits of David’s bravest
warriors (chapter 23), and David’s sinful census and the ensuing plague (chapter 24).
Foreshadowings: The Lord Jesus Christ is seen primarily in two parts of 2 Samuel. First,
the Davidic Covenant as outlined in 2 Samuel 7:16: “Your house and your kingdom will
endure forever before me; your throne will be established forever” and reiterated
in Luke 1:31-33 in the words of the angel who appeared to Mary to announce Jesus’
birth to her: “He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God
will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob
forever; his kingdom will never end.” Christ is the fulfillment of the Davidic Covenant; He
is the Son of God in the line of David who will reign forever.
Second, Jesus is seen in the song of David at the end of his life (2 Samuel 22:2-51). He
sings of his rock, fortress and deliverer, his refuge and savior. Jesus is our Rock (1
Corinthians 10:4; 1 Peter 2:7-9), the Deliverer of Israel (Romans 11:25-27), the fortress to
whom we “have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us” (Hebrews 6:18
KJV), and our only Savior (Luke 2:11; 2 Timothy 1:10).
Practical Application: Anyone can fall. Even a man like David, who truly desired to
follow God and who was richly blessed by God, was susceptible to temptation. David’s
sin with Bathsheba should be a warning to all of us to guard our hearts, our eyes, and
our minds. Pride over our spiritual maturity and our ability to withstand temptation in
our own strength is the first step to a downfall (1 Corinthians 10:12).
God is gracious to forgive even the most heinous sins when we truly repent. However,
healing the wound caused by sin does not always erase the scar. Sin has natural
consequences, and even after he was forgiven, David reaped what he had sown. His son
from the illicit union with another man’s wife was taken from him (2 Samuel 12:14-24)
and David suffered the misery of a break in his loving relationship with his heavenly
Father (Psalms 32 and 51). How much better to avoid sin in the first place, rather than
having to seek forgiveness later!

Opsomming van die Boek van 2
Samuel
Skrywer: Die boek 2 Samuel identifiseer nie die outeur daarvan nie. Dit kon nie die
profeet Samuel wees nie, aangesien hy in 1 Samuel gesterf het. Moontlike skrywers sluit
Natan en Gad in (sien 1 Kronieke 29:29 ).
Datum van Skrywe: Oorspronklik was die boeke van 1 en 2 Samuel een boek. Die
vertalers van die Septuagint het hulle geskei, en ons het daardie skeiding sedertdien
behou. Die gebeure van 1 Samuel strek oor ongeveer 100 jaar, vanaf c. 1100 vC tot c.
1000 vC Die gebeure van 2 Samuel dek nog 40 jaar. Die datum van skryf sou dus iewers
na 960 vC wees.
Doel van skryf: 2 Samuel is die rekord van koning Dawid se bewind. Hierdie boek plaas
die Dawidiese Verbond in sy historiese konteks.
Sleutelverse:
“U huis en u koninkryk sal vir ewig voor my aangesig bestaan; jou troon sal vir ewig
vasstaan” ( 2 Samuel 7:16 ).
“Maar die koning het sy aangesig bedek, en die koning het met ‘n groot stem uitgeroep:
O my seun Absalom, o Absalom, my seun, my seun!” ( 2 Samuel 19:4 ).
“”Die HERE is my rots, my vesting en my redder; my God is my rots by wie ek skuil, my
skild en die horing van my verlossing. Hy is my vesting, my toevlug en my redder – van
geweldenaars, julle red my, ek roep die HERE aan, wat lofwaardig is, en ek word verlos
van my vyande” ( 2 Samuel 22:2-4 )
Kort samevatting: Die boek 2 Samuel kan in twee hoofafdelings verdeel word triomf
(hoofstukke 1-10) en Dawid se probleme (hoofstukke 11-20) Die laaste deel van die
boek (hoofstukke 21-24) is ‘n nie-chronologiese aanhangsel wat verdere besonderhede
van Dawid se bewind bevat.
Die boek begin met die ontvangs van nuus van die dood van Saul en sy seuns kondig hy
‘n tyd van rou uit volg, maar Is-Boset word vermoor, en die Israeliete vra vir Dawid om
ook oor hulle te heers (hoofstukke 4-5
Dawid verskuif die land se hoofstad van Hebron na Jerusalem en verskuif later die
Verbondsark (hoofstukke 5-6) . . Dawid se plan om ‘n tempel in Jerusalem te bou word
deur God geveto, wat dan vir Dawid die volgende dinge belowe: 1) Dawid sou ‘n seun
hê om na hom te regeer; 2) Dawid se seun sou die tempel bou; 3) die troon wat deur
Dawid se geslag beset is, sou vir ewig gevestig word; en 4) God sal nooit Sy genade uit
Dawid se huis neem nie ( 2 Samuel 7:4-16 ).
Dawid lei Israel tot oorwinning oor baie van die vyandelike nasies wat hulle omsingel
het. Hy toon ook goedhartigheid aan die familie van Jonatan deur Mefiboset, Jonatan se
kreupel seun in te neem (hoofstukke 8-10).
Dan val Dawid. Hy begeer ‘n pragtige vrou met die naam Batseba, pleeg egbreuk met
haar en laat dan haar man vermoor (hoofstuk 11). Wanneer Natan die profeet Dawid
met sy sonde konfronteer, bely Dawid, en God vergewe genadiglik. Die Here sê egter vir
Dawid dat daar moeilikheid uit sy eie huisgesin sou ontstaan.
Moeilikheid kom wel wanneer Dawid se eersgebore seun, Amnon, sy halfsuster, Tamar,
verkrag. As weerwraak vermoor Tamar se broer Absalom Amnon. Absalom vlug dan uit
Jerusalem eerder as om sy vader se woede te trotseer. Later lei Absalom ‘n opstand teen
Dawid, en sommige van Dawid se voormalige medewerkers sluit by die rebellie aan
(hoofstukke 15-16). Dawid word uit Jerusalem gedwing, en Absalom stel homself vir ‘n
kort tydjie as koning op. Die usurpator word egter omvergewerp en – teen Dawid se wil
- word vermoor. Dawid treur oor sy gevalle seun.
‘n Algemene gevoel van onrus teister die res van Dawid se bewind. Die manne van Israel
dreig om van Juda te skei, en Dawid moet nog ‘n opstand onderdruk (hoofstuk 20).
Die boek se aanhangsel bevat inligting oor ‘n drie jaar lange hongersnood in die land
(hoofstuk 21), ‘n lied van Dawid (hoofstuk 22), ‘n rekord van die dade van Dawid se
dapperste krygers (hoofstuk 23), en Dawid se sondige sensus en die daaropvolgende
plaag (hoofstuk 24).
Voorafskaduwings: Die Here Jesus Christus word hoofsaaklik in twee dele van 2
Samuel gesien. Eerstens, die Dawidiese Verbond soos uiteengesit in 2 Samuel 7:16 : “U
huis en u koninkryk sal vir ewig voor my aangesig bestaan; jou troon sal vir ewig
vasstaan” en herhaal in Lukas 1:31-33 in die woorde van die engel wat aan Maria
verskyn het om Jesus se geboorte aan haar aan te kondig: “Hy sal groot wees en die
Seun van die Allerhoogste genoem word. Die Here God sal aan hom die troon van sy
vader Dawid gee, en hy sal vir ewig koning wees oor die huis van Jakob; sy koninkryk sal
nooit eindig nie.” Christus is die vervulling van die Dawidiese Verbond; Hy is die Seun
van God in die geslag van Dawid wat vir ewig sal regeer.
Tweedens, Jesus word gesien in die lied van Dawid aan die einde van sy lewe ( 2 Samuel
22:2-51 Hy besing van sy rots, vesting en verlosser, sy toevlug en verlosser Jesus is ons
Rots ( 1 Korintiërs 10:4 ; 1 Petrus 2:7-9 ), die Verlosser van Israel ( Romeine 11 ). :25-27 ),
die vesting waarheen ons “gevlug het vir skuiling om vas te hou aan die hoop wat voor
ons lê” ( Hebreërs 6:18 KJV ), en ons enigste Verlosser ( Luk 2:11 ; 2 Timoteus 1:10 ).
Praktiese Toepassing: Enigiemand kan val, wat werklik begeer het om God te volg en
wat ryklik deur God geseën is, was vatbaar vir versoeking met Batseba, moet ‘n
waarskuwing vir ons almal wees .
ons oë, en ons verstand Trots oor ons geestelike volwassenheid en ons vermoë om
versoeking te weerstaan in ons eie krag is die eerste stap na ‘n ondergang ( 1 Korintiërs
10:12 )
is genadig om selfs die mees gruwelike sondes te vergewe Bekeer. Om die wond wat
deur sonde veroorsaak word te genees, vee egter nie altyd die litteken uit nie. Sonde het
natuurlike gevolge, en selfs nadat hy vergewe is, het Dawid geoes wat hy gesaai het. Sy
seun uit die onwettige verbintenis met ‘n ander man se vrou is van hom weggeneem ( 2
Samuel 12:14-24 ) en Dawid het die ellende gely van ‘n breuk in sy liefdesverhouding
met sy hemelse Vader ( Psalms 32 en 51 ). Hoeveel beter om sonde in die eerste plek te vermy, eerder as om later vergifnis te soek!
