(Readings Apr 4-Apr 10)

15. David: Triumph and Tragedy

Key Point:
Saul is rejected as king by God because of his sin and his failure to learn that “to obey is better than sacrifice” (1 Sam. 15:22). God establishes the dynasty of David because of David’s obedience and dependence on God.

Key Verse:
“Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me; your throne will be established forever” (God speaking to David through Nathan, 2 Sam. 7:16; DB page 450).

Main People:
David, Ish-bosheth, Abner, Joab, Michal, Mephibosheth, Nathan, Bathsheba, Uriah

Outline:
The Deaths of Saul and Jonathan
David mourns the loss
The Triumphs of David
    David made king of Judah
    Ish-bosheth abandoned, David becomes king of Israel
    David captures Jerusalem
Paraders of the lost ark—the ark restored to prominence amid celebration
Mephibosheth given a place of honor
David wants to build a house for God; God promises to establish the house of David
David defeats the Philistines, Ammonites, and Amorites
The Tragedy of David
David commits adultery with Bathsheba and has Uriah killed
Nathan confronts David, David repents, the child of David and Bathsheba dies


Thought Questions:

1.    Why does David lament the death of Saul?

2.    What characteristics did David possess that made him a good leader?

3.    Why does Joab kill Abner? (2 Sam. 3:22-27; p. 437)

4.    Why does David desire to move the ark? (1 Chron. 13:1-8, DB page 440)

5.    How do you react to David’s leaping and dancing before the ark? Was Michal’s response justified? (1 Chron. 15, DB page 445)

6.    In what ways are we like Mephiboseth when we stand before the throne of God?

7. What can you learn from the way David reacted to Nathan’s confrontation? (DB page 455)

8. In what ways did David pay for his sin with Bathsheba? (2 Sam. 12, DB pages 455-456)
