2 Samuel 21-24

(22v32) 'For who is God, but the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God?' No imitation is good enough. No forgery is close enough. There is only one genuine article.
(22v48) '...the God who gave me vengeance...' There is no doubt that vengeance is the Lord's, and yet David seems to view God's victories over David's enemies as his vengeance, not the Lord's. Samson prays 'that I may be avenged on the Philistines' (Judges 16v28). Does God carry out vengeance, or does he sometimes give it to us to carry out?...
