LESSON TEXT — II Sam. 7:18-26;
1:14, 15. (Read 1 Sam. 16 to II Sam. 24.)
GOLDEN TEXT—I delight to do Thy
will, O my God.—Ps. 40:8.
PRIMARY TOPIC—A Shepherd Boy
Becomes King.
JUNIOR TOPIC—David and Goliath.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP
IC—David a Character Study.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP
IC—What David Achieved for Israel.
I. Chosen King While a Shepherd
Boy (I Snm. 10:1-13).
1. Samuel Sent to Retlilehem (vv.
1-5). Samuel was directed to go to
Bethlehem and from among the sons
of Jesse choose a successor. God In
structed him to avoid publicity by the
concealment of his real purpose. Sam
uel was not under obligation to tell all
that he knew, especially since the
parties hnd no moral right to know.
2. Samuel Anointed David (v. 13).
Though the Lord has refused to choose
one of the eldest sons of Jesse, when
this stripling of a hoy came before
Samuel, the Lord Indicated Ills choice.
Tills anointing typified the enduement
of the Holy Spirit which is essential
for any and all service for God.
II. David’s Training.
1. In the Open Fields (1 Snm. 10:11-
13; 17:34-37). As n young man, his
business was to keep Ills futher’s
sheep. The prevailing tendency of
such an occupation would he to take
things easily, but David did not fall
into a life of indolence. He became
such n skilled musician that he was
called to play his harp before the king.
He was also an expert marksman, so
that he could throw a stone with such
precision as to need only one throw
to down the Philistine giant. Then,
too, he was physically fitted, fur he
had been “educated In the school of
the lion and the hear.”
2. In the King’s Court (I Snm. 18:2,
21 :0). Here was formed that tie of
friendship with Jonathan which not
only was a bright spot in David's life,
but lives In history as a unique af
fair.
3. In the Camp of the Outlaw (I
Sam. 21:10; 31:13). The king had
given commandment to kill David.
When the truth of this was realized
David lied to the king of Gath, where
he feigned madness. Though David
did some foolish and unbecoming
things during this time, he is to be
commended for his self-mastery in
that tie would not touch the Lord’s
anointed.
III. David Made King of Judah (II
Snm. 2:1-1).
Trusting God, David went to Hebron,
where tiie men of Judah anointed him
king over them. Thus, a part of the
nation recognized him as king and
ratified the work which Samuel did
years before.
1. The Dual Kingdom (II Sam. 2:8;
4:12). Most of tlie tribes of Israel
held to Ishbosheth, Saul’s son, whom
Aimer had proclaimed king of Ma-
haniam. Feuds continued between the
rival factions. David's power in
creased, while that of Ishbosheth
waned. This period of civil war last
ed seven and a half years.
2. David Crowned King of United
Israel (II Sam. 5:1-5). Abner’s death
and Ishbosheth’s assassination put an
end to David’s opposition. Besides,
David’s behavior during this time
gradually won for him the confidence
of the trilies, so that they al] came to
him at Hebron and anointed him as
their king. They assigned as their
reasons for anointing him their king:
(1) He was their brother (v. 1).
(2) He was their true leader in war,
even in Saul’s time (v. 2). -
(3) He was the Lord’s choice (v. 2).
IV. David's Worship and Prayer (II
Snm. 7:18-20).
1. For God’s Goodness to Him (vv.
18-22). This was shown in promising
to build him a house. The content of
this covenant is set forth in verses
8-16. It contains the following ele
ments :
(1) A htrnse, or posterity (v. 13).
(2) A throne—a royal authority (v.
13).
(3) A kingdom (v. 13).
(4) Perpetuity, that is, forever (v.
13).
This was an absolute promise. Dis
obedience on the part of David’s seed
would entail chastisement, but not an
abrogation of the covenant.
2. For God’s Goodness to the Nation
(vv. 23-20). No other nation In all
the world hnd been accorded such
treatment. The central thought is
God’s goodness centered in his redemp
tion of the nation from Egyptian
bondage.
V. God Preserved David Wherever
He Went (II Sam. 8:14, 15).
God will do tiie same for all those
ivho trust Him.
