King of Israel 1010BC - 970BC 1&2 Samuel - 1&2 Kings 1&2 Chronicles Psalms

2Sam. 18:33 “33 And the king was deeply moved and went up to the chamber over the gate and wept. And as he went, he said, “O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! Would I had died instead of you, O Absalom, my son, my son!””

1 Samuel 17:2-15 1 Samuel 17:32-50

Context David already anointed as king. Saul & Jonathan turned the fortunes of Israel around. Philistines against Israel’ new freedom. Saul & Jonathan were heroes. Great reward for the man who killed Goliath.

“You come to me with a sword and with a spear and with a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. 46 This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you down and cut off your head. And I will give the dead bodies of the host of the Philistines this day to the birds of the air and to the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel, 47 and that all this assembly may know that the LORD saves not with sword and spear. For the battle is the LORD’s, and he will give you into our hand.”

And they were among the mighty men who helped him in war. 2 They were bowmen and could shoot arrows and sling stones with either the right or the left hand; they were Benjaminites, Saul’s kinsmen.”
