The Last Days of King David

Children's Bible Studies Old Testament January 17, 2015March 19, 2022

We have learned that David had his ups and downs in his life. He was always faithful to the LORD God. Even when he sinned David did not deny his sins he showed deep grief and ask for forgiveness. The LORD God always forgave him. David provided many good lessons how to be faithful to the LORD God.

David and Bathsheba

Children's Bible Studies Old Testament January 17, 2015March 19, 2022

This lesson shows the bad part of David: he took a woman that was not his, David killed Uriah, lied about what he had done, and David hid his sins. This lesson shows us that everyone sins, but we cannot hide from the LORD God. Just like David repented we must also repent of our sins.

Death of Saul

Children's Bible Studies Old Testament January 17, 2015March 22, 2022

Saul died because he put his trust in the dead instead of the LORD. This lesson teaches us all that when you need to know something about the future you need take it to the Lord in prayer. You need to be reading your Bible every day and learn the way of the Lord and rely on His Grace and love.

King David Brings Up the Ark

Children's Bible Studies Old Testament January 17, 2015March 19, 2022

David was chosen by the LORD God as a young boy. He did not become king over Judah and Israel right away in fact it was 20 years later after the death of Saul. David was 30 years old he was anointed king over both Judah and Israel.

Coronation of David

Children's Bible Studies Old Testament January 17, 2015March 19, 2022

David was anointed king over Israel and Judah. He reigned 33 years over all Israel and Judah. David can teach us not to have false images in our lives and to trust and obey the LORD. The LORD will always protect us from our enemies we just have to go to Him in prayer.

David Takes Abigail as a Wife

Children's Bible Studies Old Testament January 17, 2015March 22, 2022

This lesson talks about David coming into contact with an evil man. This lesson helps us to understand we do not have to be in control of everything all by ourselves. We need to learn, just like David, to allow the moving of the Lord in our lives. We have to learn to live our faith and allow the LORD to control the hard times and the evilness that is in our lives.

David’s Victory Over Saul

Children's Bible Studies Old Testament January 15, 2015March 19, 2022

Just like Saul we sometimes hold on to grudges. David has been avoiding King Saul because he wanted to kill David. This lesson shows David returning goodness for evilness and this put Saul to shame. We should not repay good with evil. It is sad when we think we have a nature that can be chaotic revengeful, and wanting to return evil for evil. We sometimes forget we are in control of how we treat the people around us.

David Flees to the Wilderness

Children's Bible Studies Old Testament January 15, 2015March 18, 2022

King Saul was going to kill David if it was the last thing he ever did. Saul followed wherever he heard David was hiding and followed him. David stayed one step ahead of Saul because David listened to the LORD God. David was under the protection of the LORD. Sometimes it looked and felt like David was all by himself but he wasn’t. Just like David we are under the protection of the LORD. All we have to do is…

David Fleeing From Saul

Children's Bible Studies Old Testament January 15, 2015March 18, 2022

King Saul wanted David dead! He did not care how or who killed him Saul just wanted David dead. Saul was growing desperate in his hatred of David. He even went to his son Jonathan to murder David. That was not the plan or the Will of the LORD God. David had many people helping him. One was Jonathan who warned his beloved friend of the evil intentions of his father and he also interceded before Saul on David’s behalf.

The Earlier Experiences of David

Children's Bible Studies Old Testament January 15, 2015March 22, 2022

It is so comforting to know that the LORD God chooses who He want for the task He chooses. Have you noticed many times in the Bible, and in life, the LORD chooses unlikely people to do His work. That is so everyone will know that the work being done is the work of the LORD not the work of man. You need to remember those who are rejected of men are often beloved of the LORD.
