So you see that riff just continue throughout the story.

Dr. Jackson didn't talk about this, but I think I've heard people mention this, but wasn't, like, when David did the census, like, wasn't that frowned upon?
Like, wasn't he, like, why was that a bad thing?
Yeah.
But he was the guy.
It's cool, too, because Dr. Jackson pointed out the redemption part with the young virgin when David's old.
But I think, too, the redemption and the restoration of the fact that Solomon is king and Solomon is the son of Bathsheba, which is this whole debacle started with 2 Samuel 11.
So I think there's even a full redemption in that of โ
Solomon becoming the next king.
And it's on the hinge of David's worst mistake of his life.
Any final thoughts y'all have before we wrap it?
No, I thought it was awesome.
I mean, David's one of my favorite characters in the Bible.
And I thought Dr. Jackson did a great job articulating his life.
And even starting before that with 1 Samuel, with, oh gosh, Eli and Hannah.
Yeah.
Right?
Yeah.
