This lesson will cover the early days of David’s reign as he attempts to rule his kingdom in a way that honors Yahweh. Having never served as a king before, David has a lot to learn about managing the affairs of state in keeping with Yahweh’s commands.
David is old and his days on earth are numbered. A shadow of the man he used to be, he remains firmly dedicated to Yahweh. But there will be one last test for David to face before he leaves this life behind.
This is a tough lesson because it starts well but ends poorly. David is nearing the end of his illustrious life, and while he has learned many lessons along the way, he seems to take his eye off the objective as he nears the finish line.
