Lesson 15David Made King Over All Israel David’s “Army”
David’s Family David’s Plans Re: The Ark
2 Samuel 5:1-16 1 Chronicles 11-14
No more rivals (Ish-bosheth the last one) – Even during Saul’s reign, the people admit
they knew David was the “real” leader – They also admit they knew God’s plans – The people make a covenant with David
David King Over All Israel 1 Chron 11:1-9
We’ve seen how far David has come…from a “lad” to a 30 year-old kingWhat’s never wavered? Faith (trust) in God
Sideline thought…
1 Samuel 16 intro to David JOSEPHUS says that David was ten,
while most modern commentators are of the opinion that he must have been fifteen years of age
David and Jonathan BFF What was Jonathan doing in
1 Samuel 14?
The capture of Jerusalem (Jebus) – This reminds us of Israel’s earlier failures
to take this city Josh 15:63 Judg 1:21
– David finally captures God’s chosen cityDeut 12:5, 10-11 2 Chron 7
Ezek 10 Isa 2:2-3 Lk 24:46-47 Acts 1:4-8
(Matt 24:1-2 Rev 3:7,12) – Hiram gives David materials for a palace…
he’ll later help Solomon re: the temple
David King Over All Israel 1 Chron 11:1-9
Small beginning 1 Sam 22:2 – A detailed listing of heroic men of valor,
strength, and great skill 11:20, 22-2312:8, 14-15
Now a formidable force – Men who have proven their worth and
loyalty to David through good & hard times12:23-37
David’s “Army” 1 Chron 11:10 – 12:40
400
334,000 +
11:41 Uriah the Hittite
In Bible times, the most prominent way a man felt blessed was with a large family – David increased his wives and concubines,
thus having more children at Jerusalem – Sons who will have major roles later in the
Bible story (Amnon, Absalom, Nathan, Solomon)
David’s Family 1 Chron 14:3-7
Remember…David is in the lineage of Christ
Two important Messianic lineages– Through Joseph Matt 1:1-17
[Legal] – Through Mary Lk 3:23-38 [Real] Another important N.T. passage…Rom 1:3-4
– The only way for this to be fulfilled was for Mary to be in this same blood line
Matt 1:1-17– Mentions Solomon– Through Joseph– The royal line
Lk 3:23-38– Mentions Nathan– Through Mary– The fleshly line
Some historical background… – The ark captured in battle 1 Sam 4 – Remained in Philistine hands only a short
while…Dagon had “trouble” 1 Sam 5 – Philistia returned the ark…it eventually
settled in Kiriath-jearim (Baale-judah)1 Sam 6 1 Chron 13:6 2 Sam
6:2 – Question…how long had it been there
before David decides to retrieve it?
David’s Plans for the ArkAll before Israel demanded a king 1 Sam 8:5
The ark in Kiriath-jearim – Israel lamented 20 years 1 Sam 7:2 – Saul reigned 40 years Acts 13:21 – David has already reigned 7½ years in
Hebron 2 Sam 5:5 – Unknown length of time for Samuel’s
judging of Israel
David’s Plans for the Ark
At least 67-70+ years
David obviously understood the ark’s significance to the new united nation – The previous administration had not even
cared to seek it 1 Chron 13:2-3 The ark represented God’s presence
Ex 25:10-22 This important piece of furniture must be
at the center of David’s kingdom
David’s Plans for the Ark
As good an idea as it was in rescuing the ark and bringing it home to Jerusalem, David’s logistical plan in getting it there was that bad
That is the rest of the ….. as you read look for the phrase… “inquired of the Lord”
