After the period of the conquest, the Israelites settled in the Promised Land, but they stopped following God. The book of Judges ended by saying that everyone “did whatever seemed right in their own eyes”. God’s own people, the Israelites, were living in sin, just like the surrounding nations. They rejected God as their King, asking instead for a human king. God allowed them to have one, but not before the prophet Samuel warned them that human kings would make their lives miserable. But they didn’t listen. The first king, Saul, was not a good king. His own ambition was more important than obeying God. So God rejected him and chose David as the second king. God made an unconditional covenant with David that he would always have descendants on the throne. However, God warned that He would discipline them if they sinned. Discipline’s goal was to turn their hearts back to Him. Access the notes at: https://interlocked.online/s/22-King-David.pdf
