God’s Gentle Overruling
David’s care for the ark stirred a desire to build a house for it with the prophet Nathan’s blessings. But God gently overruled Nathan in a vision, sending him back to David, redirecting his desire with great blessings.
The Weight of Ministry
King David brings the ark to Jerusalem but not without the death of a servant. Three month later the quest resumes and David dances before the ark and the kingdom rejoices, except for Michal who despises it all.
David Rules the Kingdom
Assassins kill the king in Israel which brought about a united kingdom with David as king over all, but he executed the killers for their crime. Then David took Jerusalem, prospered and subdued the Philistines.
Big Mistakes
The folly of one king and the great pathos of another. The savage and cowardly revenge of one man and the fatal miscalculation of his victim. Big mistakes complicated consolidation of the kingdom, but did not stop it.
