i would like o understand whether David fought prophetically, hat is, when he went to war he knew he would conquer or he was just led by the spirit of God and by faith?

Hello Shiela In 1 Samuel 16:13 is when the spirit of the Lord came upon David and almost every time David

got into different situations with unbelievers he would inquire of God either what to do or will we win. In 1 Samuel

23 :verses 2-4-11-12 that's just in this record. That's I one characteristics of a great spiritual leader always

asking God what to do or can I do this with your help and then being thankful and giving credit to God. Although he blew it with bathsheba God still called Him a man after his own heart. Incredible when you think about it Gods Grace

Psalm 51:1-11 Tells you David understood the gravity in what he did, verse 11 Cast me not away from thy presence

and TAKE NOT THY HOLY SPIRIT FROM ME. Thank God we never have to utter these words because of Jesus Christ!

David fought confidently. 1 Samuel 17:26,32,33-36,37 & with faith because of GOD's deliverances in past & knowing GOD's love for Israel. Maybe that's why GOD called him: 1 Samuel 13:14, Acts 13:22,

Hopefully this is helpful.
