It wasn't an easy path for David to become king over Israel. God had personally selected him for the role at a young age and given him the strength and courage to defeat the Philistine giant named Goliath. However, David's popularity that resulted from this triumph made the current king, Saul, paranoid that he would lose the throne. He made attacks against David's life, forcing the younger man to flee into the wilderness and even hide out in enemy territory. Saul was ultimately killed in battle, but the path wouldn't get much easier for David once he became king. Sadly, much of this turmoil would come about as a result of David's own sinful actions when he committed adultery and then murder to cover it up.
Join beloved author Max Lucado as he explores David's reign in 2 Samuel and how God used him to become Israel's greatest king in spite of his many flaws and failings. As you read, study, journal, and discuss the book of 2 Samuel, watch for these key themes that Max will unpack throughout the book:
- God provides his guidance in the intersections of life.
