Hi, my name is Fr. Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a Year podcast, where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of Scripture. The Bible in a Year podcast is brought to you by Ascension. Using the Great Adventure Bible Timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation.
Discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that story today, it is day 121. And we are reading today from 2 Samuel 2, from 1 Chronicles 2, more names, that. Thank the Lord. And we're also praying Psalm 24. If you're interested, the Bible translation that I am reading from is a revised standard version, second Catholic edition.

We're reading 2 Samuel chapter 2, 1 Chronicles chapter 2, and praying Psalm 24. 2 Samuel chapter 2. David anointed king of Judah. After this, David inquired of the Lord, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And the Lord said to him, Go up. David said, To which shall I go up? And he said, To Hebron.
So David went up there, and his two wives also, Ahinoam of Jezreel, and Abigail, the widow of Nabal of Carmel. And David brought up his men who were with him, every one with his household, and they dwelt in the towns of Hebron. And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah.
When they told David, It was the men of Jabesh-Gilead who buried Saul, David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh-Gilead and said to them, Ish-bosheth made king of Israel.
Now Abner, the son of Ner, commander of Saul's army, had taken Ish-bosheth, the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim, and he made him king over Gilead and the Asherites and Jezreel and Ephraim and Benjamin and all Israel. Ish-bosheth, Saul's son, was 40 years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David.
And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months. The Battle of Gibeon Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ashibosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon. And Joab the son of Zerui, and the servants of David, went out and met them at the pool of Gibeon.
And they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool. And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men arise and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise. Then they arose and passed over by number, twelve for Benjamin, and Eshbosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
