Key Verse<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the <\/strong>son<\/strong><\/em> of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014Acts 13:22
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Verse Thought: <\/strong>After learning of\nKing Saul\u2019s death last week, we must remember that God removed Saul from being\nking for his disobedience. We then read that God made David king. This verse\nhelps us understand why God chose David \u2013 for David wanted to please God with\nall of his heart. In this lesson, we will see some ways David wanted to do\nthings God\u2019s way \u2013 pleasing Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emphasis: <\/strong>We are to learn that in order to please God we must learn\nto seek God first.  God demands obedience,\nand then He blesses. Just as David sought after God\u2019s heart, so too should we!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lesson Summary: <\/strong>In our last lesson, we learned that God removed the\nkingdom from Saul and gave it to David. In this lesson, we begin to remember\nKing David. Once the people came together making David their king, he then sets\nhis eye upon Jerusalem \u2013 where the\nJebusites lived. David\u2019s first act as king was to take Jerusalem\nand make it the city of David.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God gave David many mighty\nmen who helped bring in David as the next king of Israel.  Not only will we learn things about those\nmighty men, but about the events that led David from being the king of two\ntribes to the king of the entire nation of Israel.\nWe will then remember David\u2019s failed attempt at bringing the Ark\nof the Lord (Ark of the Covenant) by a new cart into Jerusalem.\nThe procession halted when Uzza was struck dead (for touching the Ark).  David recognized God\u2019s anger, became fearful\nof God, and left the Ark of the\nLord at the home of Obededom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the Philistines,\nenemies of Israel,\nheard that David was king, they came out against Israel.\nBefore entering into battle, David sought God. He obeyed God, and God gave\nDavid victory over the enemy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

David learned (by seeking\nGod\u2019s Word to find the answer) the proper way to bring the Ark\nof the Lord into Jerusalem, and he\nsuccessfully brought it into the tent made specifically to house the Ark\nof the Lord. This time it was brought into Jerusalem\nwith much rejoicing \u2013 in the order God demanded it be done. David organized the\npriests and Levites in their different ministries in the house of the Lord, and\nhe even organized the music and the musicians that were to play before the\nLord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

David recognized that he\nlived in a beautiful house, but the Lord\u2019s house was only a tent.  David wanted to build a house for the Lord. Instead,\nGod promised to build David an everlasting house (descendants to remain upon\nthe throne \u2013 ultimately leading to Jesus). We will see how God blessed David\u2019s\nkingdom when David sought to please God first. God allowed David\u2019s kingdom to\nbe extended, and the enemies around defeated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When King Nahash died, David wanted to show kindness to his son, Hanun. We will read what happened when that kindness was rejected. David continued to extend his kingdom, conquering the enemies around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember:<\/strong> The books of the Chronicles do not dwell upon the wrongdoings of the kings, but what good they accomplished for Judah. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
