Spiritual lessons from the life of Kind David

 David is an musician, Shepherd Boys, Young Solider and King. 

  1. First king in the tribe of Judah. From then Judah became a Kings tribe.
  2. Second King to the United Israel. First was Saul from the Tribe of Benjamin. Israelite's elected him as a King but God elected David to be king of His People. 
  3. Great Grandson of Ruth and Boyaz. Naomi 

Judah: One of the prominent tribe in the tribes of the world and in Israel. Their territory was Jerusalem and It became a Capital city of His kingdom and in God's Temple. David's Line ruled 400 years until King Nebuchadnezzar. 

Family: Father was Jesse son of Obed. He has Seven Brothers, He is the 8th son of Jesse. he was either Jesse’s seventh son, or his eighth (1 Chronicles 2:13–141 Samuel 16:10–11). 

Samuel Anointed Him: Years later, when Saul disobeyed God, God rejected him as king (1 Samuel 15:26).

2 Samuel 9

Many years before Samuel anointed David and the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, Samuel anointed Saul, and the Spirit of the Lord came upon Saul (1 Samuel 10:1–6). When David was anointed, the Spirit of the Lord left Saul, and an evil spirit began to torment him (1 Samuel 16:14).

Perhaps David’s biggest claim to fame was his legendary showdown with the Philistine giant, Goliath. The Israelite and Philistine armies lined up on opposing hills, Goliath taunted the Israelites and challenged them to decide the battle with a duel: him against one of them (1 Samuel 17:8-11).

Nobody wanted to take him up on the offer. But David came to the Israelite camp to play music for Saul, and he heard Goliath’s taunts. He also overheard the Israelites talking about what Saul would give to the person who defeated Goliath (1 Samuel 17:23-27).


Before he anointed David, the prophet Samuel rebuked Saul and warned him “the Lord has sought out a man after his own heart” (1 Samuel 13:14).


In Acts 13:22, Paul appears to give an explanation:

“After removing Saul, he made David their king. God testified concerning him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.’”



According to the Masoretic Text (based on ancient Jewish tradition), David wrote 73 out of the total 150 Psalms.
