Where the songs go in 2 Samuel
The 24 songs here set 6 of the 6 movements in 2 Samuel to music: “Crowned Over a Divided House” (2 Samuel 1–6), “A House the LORD Will Build” (2 Samuel 7–10), “A Rooftop, and a Prophet with a Parable” (2 Samuel 11–12), “The Sword Never Leaves” (2 Samuel 13–18), “Coming Back Over the Jordan” (2 Samuel 19–20) and “Last Words and a Threshingfloor” (2 Samuel 21–24).
Crowned Over a Divided House (2 Samuel 1–6). David sings a lament for the man who hunted him: how are the mighty fallen.
The Sword Never Leaves (2 Samuel 13–18). What was said over him works itself out inside his own house.
Last Words and a Threshingfloor (2 Samuel 21–24). Another rebellion, a famine traced back to something Saul did, and a roll of mighty men including three who break through an enemy army to fetch water David then pours out on the ground rather than drink.
