Husband and Wife cover questions about Absalom and why he suddenly did a coup, and it turns out Absalom's turn wasn't as "out of the blue" as we thought. We also make a disappointing discovery about headlines which leads to a tragic change to our podcast going forward. Finally, in spoilery abandon, we are urged to keep an eye on Absalom's gorgeous hair. Support this podcast at...

Husband and Wife cover 2 Samuel chapter 15: Absalom Revolts against David. The headline says it ALL. Out of the blue and with literally no lead-in, there's a mf coup. Absalom wants to usurp his dad's 75-pound crown, so David hauls outta town, but he leaves his wives behind -- along with the Ark!

Husband and Wife cover 2 Samuel Chapter 13: Amnon and Tamar / Absalom's Revenge and Flight. You may find this difficult to believe, but the son of Mr. Rapey Pants is rapey, too, and with an incest cherry on top! He's as heinous a sonoffa biscuit as his pops. I can't muster a single shred of regret that he gets murdered. This book is so nasty and disturbing. Support this podcast at — ht...

Husband and Wife cover 2 Samuel chapter 12: Nathan Reproves David / David Captures Rabbah. The good news is that David finally gets punished for his bad behavior. The bad news is that his punishment involves the death of his rape-baby, after which he is basically like, "Oh wells, whatcha gonna do?" So he has another baby via his rape victim, and proceeds to raid more towns and thereby accu...

Husband and Wife cover 2 Samuel chapter 10: The Defeat of the Ammonites and Syrians. Two of David's ambassadors get clownish haircuts and David is like, This shall not stand. So there's a giant war which causes Husband to take a stand against Great Clips. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/sacrilegious-discourse-bible-study-for-atheists/donations

Husband and Wife cover 2 Samuel chapter 9: David's Kindness to Mephibosheth. David is intent on finding a surviving relative of Saul, forgetting that he is literally married to one and that he was mean to her. But let us never forget the great affection David felt for Saul's son Jonathon. They were definitely lovers, which works out great for Jon's son. Support this podcast at — https:...

Husband and Wife cover 2 Samuel chapter 8: David Extends His Kingdom / David's Officers. Apparently God thinks David is just the cat's pajamas, even tho David kills a ton of people, maims a bunch of horses, taxes all the survivors, and then just sets up office space for his guys.

Husband and Wife cover 2 Samuel chapter 7: God's Covenant with David. This is a bit of a misnomer since God didn't actually speak directly to David, but rather thru a prophet, who could totally have been blowing smoke up David's . This chapter was mostly a super long, boring, and ultimately unnecessary prayer. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/sacrilegious-discourse-bible...

Husband and Wife cover 2 Samuel chapter 6: David Goes to Bring the Ark / The Ark Brought to Jerusalem. Another over-the-top smiting occurs, along with some unjustified blessings and some VERY justified jealousy, as well as a super unnecessary curse unto Michal. And what ever happened to the tabernacle? Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/sacrilegious-discourse-bible-study-for-atheists/...

Husband and Wife cover 2 Samuel chapter 5: David Made King over Israel / David Captures Zion / Hiram's Recognition of David / David's Children Born at Jerusalem / David Defeats the Philistines. Ugh, everything is just David - David - David. We're a bit sick of him tbh. He gets kinged like a billion times. He murders people a billion times. He gets married a billion times and has a bill...

Husband and Wife cover 2 Samuel chapter 3: David Fights against the Forces of Saul (cont.) / David's Sons Born at Hebron / Abner Plans a League with David / Joab Kills Abner. Saul's son calls Abner a concubine-humping dog, which offends Abner so much he switches teams, but David wants his wife back, and Joab murders Abner before anything gets resolved, so it's all a hot mess.

Husband and Wife cover 2 Samuel chapter 2: David Made King over Judah / David Fights against the Forces of Saul. Suddenly we learn that Saul had another son, who turns out was King of Israel for a hot minute, at the same time that David is King of Judah, which is all very confusing to Husband. A trip to the Pool of Morons solves nothing. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/sacrilegious...

Husband and Wife cover 2 Samuel chapter 1: David Learns of Saul's Death / David's Lament over Saul and Jonathan. The Bible continues to be full of contradictions as it's now unclear who killed Saul. David continues to prove he's a by committing an extremely unjustified murder. And we continue to be really bad at singing ridiculous OT songs. Support this podcast at — https://redcirc...
