Even when King David sincerely wanted to send his condolences to the other king, his reputation as a warrior was so great, that the princes didn't believe him! Not an unreasonable reaction against a fearsome foe!
Hello William. According to 1 Kings 2:11, King David reigned a total of forty years; seven years from Hebron & thirty-three years from Jerusalem. Before David died, he appointed Solomon his son (son from Bathsheba) to take his place as ruler ( 1 Kings 1:28-40). So Solomon was anointed ( 1 Kings 1:39) as King prior to David's death & wasn't ousted.
A part of serving father is to have COMPLETE faith in him and all he does,as well as being obiedent,it is through this that lets us feel his love,power and even Grace and Mercy,and our temples can be used for what he pleases,but when we vacate these things,then father cannot be with us,Glory be to Father,HE sent his only begotten son 2 die for EVERYONES sins,and now its up 2 us 2 follow n his name
What God did then, in being with David and defeating HIS enemies, not David's, David was the tool God used to defeat HIS enemies. Just as today - no one laughs at, despises Christians; it's their God they don't care for. A true Christian shows GENUINE love to ALL people; no one can despise GENUINE love. It's the repentance, leaving their sin, they hate, i.e. hating God. Jn. 14:15.
Curious to find out in next readings.
