trust in the lord shall be as mount zion which cannot be removed but abideth for ever psa 1251 the lesson as a whole approach to the iiesson many years elapsed between the anointing of david and his crown ing as king and even then after saul was dead it was only as king of judah that david reigned for the first seven years- while the rest of the tribes followed ishbosheth one of the surviving sons of saul but through the defection of abner captaingeneral of the armies of israel all the tribes came to hebron to make david king of all israel this enabled him to put into effect a strong program of con solidation and to put the nation on a footing where the surrounding nations were no longer sources of fear and consternation there was something in the per- sdnalityof the new king that won mens hearts and drew people to him he had learned valuable les sons in the years of his suffering and rejection that stood him in good stead in the time of recogni tion as the anointed of the lord when prosperity crowned his ef forts and success rewarded his faithfulness throughout his life david recog nized god as the real king of israel and considered himself but as a deputy or representative of the throne of heaven whose duty it was to rule the people according to the law of the lord administering justice showing mercy and main taining the honor of gods house his example of subjection to hhe lord and conscientious adherence to the divinelygiven program re sulted in great and lasting blessing to israel and united- the twelve tribes for the first time into a truly great nation respected by their former foes and rapidly develop ing a civilization far beyond any thing known in the days of the judges and of king saul verse by verso 2 sam 2 4 the men of judah anointed david king over the house of judah as a bethlehe- mite david belonged to the tribe of judah arid his own tribemen were the first and for seven years the only group who recognized him as the appointed king they knew of his exploits and recogniz ed his worth verse 5 david sent messagers unto the men of jabeshgilead when the bodies of saul and his sons were found on the battlefield of gilboa the philistines dishonor ed them by beheading saul and fastening the bodies of the fallen monarch and the princes to the wall of the city of bethshan 1 sam 31 810 learning of this the men of jabeshgilead made a night sortie and recovered the bodies which they cremated and then buried the remains davids first official act was to send a special message to these valiant men commending them for their reverent care in this matter even though saul had so often sought to kill him david honored his memory thus manifesting a gener ous forgiving spirit verse 6 ncwthe lord shew kindness and truth unto you and i also will requite you this kind ness the sincerity of davids feel ings is evidenced by the message he sent it was in keeping with the attitude he had shown during all the years of- his sufferings verse 7 therefore now let your hands be strengthened your master saul is dead and also the house of judah have anointed me real seahound one of the four pups born aboard hmcs mayflower while the vessel was en route across the atlantic to take part in the invasion this pup was named newfie and taken in charge by another newfie gordon devkeh rodickton nfld king over them jabeshgilead was a city in the territory of the tribe of gad in gilead so that davids message was a test as to whether they would also recognize his royal authority as judah had done but owing to the activity of abner in behalf of ishbosheth this was not yet to be see verses 811 chap 5 1 then came all the tribes of israel to david unto hebron for seven years interne cine strife prevailed until at last ishbosheths attempt to hold the kingdom proved utterly futile the unfortunate young man a mere puppet ruler was eventu ally deserted by his main support er abner and finally murdered by two unprincipled men vwhb hoped thereby to curry favor with david but were dealt with in summary justice by him chap 4 david commanded honorable burial for jhe dissevered head of ishbosheth also following this representa tives of all the tribes came to hebron to pledge allegiance to david saying behold we are thy bone and thy flesh verse 2 the lord said to thee thou shalt feed my people israel although so slow to recognize his claims they now confessed that lhey know he was their god- appointed loader even during the years of sauls unhappy regime- it was david who had won their greatest victories as he led them against their foes and so they aci claimed him now as their rightful king verse 3 david made a league with them in hebron before the lord thus king and people enter ed into a convenant before god to serve him as a nation owning his authority over them as in the days when he delivered them from egypt verse 4 5 he reigned forty years david was but a young man when he went through all the testings and suffering recorded in the first book of samuel he was but thirty years old when he was accepted by judah as king and therefore only thirtyseven when all israel acknowledged him his reign was of the same length all told as that of his predecessor arid as those of samuel and eli as judges forty years which is in scripture the number of perfect probation or testing verse 6r theking and his men went to jerusalem tmto the jebus ites up to this time only a part of what was afterward included in the city of jerusalem was actually possessed by israel mount zion was a stronghold of the jebusites who taunted the men of judah de claring that even their lame and blind people could defend the cita del against davids men he how ever determined to oust these ancient enemies from their fortress and take possession of it in the name of the god of israel verse 7 nevertheless david took the strong hold of zion when he succeeded in his avowed object he made zion his own cap ital from this time on it comes into special prominence as the mount of sovereign prace triumph ant over all human opposition verse 8 because of the taunt of the jebusites david offered a pecial reward to whosoever gettetluup to the gutter that is to the aqueduct through which they might enter the city and so should overcome the lame and the blind epithets he used to des cribe the whole jebusite force in after years the remnant of the jebusites still so stigmatized were shut put from the house of god as unfit to mingle with the chosen race of israel it was of god that these idolaters should be driven out of that mount zion which he had chosen for the place of his throne psas 26 132 13 verse 9 so david dwelt in the fort and called it the city of david this became the place of the royal residence from there david built an enlarged city taking in the various hills round about from millo and inward millo or properly the millo may have been another jebusite tower or hilly fortification but the exact mean ing and location is uncertain 1 verse 10 david grew great and the lord god of hosts was with him as david walked- in obedience to god he prospered and became the outstandirigmoriarch of his time the heart of the lesson when god is given his rightful place in ones life he will work his own- plans in blessing nothing can turn him from his purpose in the life of david we see the lords acting in sovereign grace taking up an unknown shepherd lad entering into covenant with him and after preserving him through many difficulties bring ing him in favor with all israel and placing him upon the throne of the kingdom through him the formerlyjealous tribes were united into a strong and a great nation walking in the fear of god business directory dental e barker ldx dj honor graduate of royal
