«So David went on and became great, and the Lord God of hosts was with him.» 2 Samuel 5:10
Now that King Saul was dead, it was time for David to become king. David was thirty years old.
But David had already seen from Saul’s example that to be a good king he could not do everything he wished. He wanted to be a good king, but this would only be possible if he obeyed God.
He wanted the people to trust him, so he asked God to guide him and told the people he was going to strive to be a good king. He was anointed and crowned. And the people were happy with their new king.
Then David and his army set out to conquer the city of Jerusalem that was with the enemies! God blessed them and they conquered Jerusalem, and it became the capital of the kingdom!
David chose to obey God. That was the secret of their victory!
Let’s practice!
