David deserves death he went against God, but he lived and his baby died. David feels severe reget over what he has done, and will have to live with it for the rest of his life. God forgave David’s sins, but forgiving still has consequences (loss of child)

David listened to Nathan, Nathan was very brave he could have been killed. But David had done worst than the man in Nathan’s story he had murdered someone so he could have his wife His first child died as punishment from God for David's adultery and murder of Uriah.

David wanted to honor them, in memory of his friend Jonathan and out of respect for Saul. Jonathan was the father of Mephibosheth David had promised Saul that no harm would come to his family. During this time in history, when one King took over another King’s throne, the new King would kill the entire family of the former King. This was to insure that the family of the old King would not try to regain the power they once had. This explains why Mephibosheth bowed down out of fear. This also explains why David comforted him and told him not to be afraid. The tradition of the time would have called for David to kill Mephibosheth. But David treated Mephibosheth as an honored guest. David didn’t follow tradition. He didn’t follow culture. He followed God. David was honorable and keep his word to the convenant

They don't want to see or hear the things happening around them and what God has done for them Israel 10 years ago I wasn't into religion that much. I had lost my job and a pastor who had come to my work place had told me to come listen to him at his church. So i went and I really enjoyed it. Since then I’ve been doing a lot of bible studies.

Nathan knew that David had a good relationship with God that he wanted to impress him David expresses his desire to Nathan to build a temple for the Lord. David is seeking God's will, and thus discusses it with God's spokesman, the prophet. And Nathan, well aware of the spiritual anointing upon David, says, "Whatever you have in mind, go ahead and do it, for the LORD is with you" He should have ask the Lord Leaders and followers could make the wrong decisions The Lord didn’t ask for the temple to be built. David wanted God to live in luxury like him

He composed the Psalms which were used in worship by the Israelites. He showed respect to the prophets of Yahweh/ listened to their messages. He wanted to build a temple for God/made preparations for its construction. When he made mistakes, he asked for Yahweh’s forgiveness/repented. He sought for God’s guidance in whatever he wanted to do It was a day of rejoicing as David “and all Israel were bringing up the ark of the Lord with shouts and the sound of trumpets” . David had set aside his royal robes and was “wearing a linen ephod” —a clear indication that he was not naked. A way to praise the Lord To praise the Lord

He showed disrespect for Gods holiness, he violated God specific instruction about the care of the Ark David felt he had set the stage for the anger God had against Uzzah for touching the Ark

David seems to ask God instead of thinking for himself. Should he attack the Philistines, would it be right since they did help him hide from Saul He would have been defected We think we can do it all, instead of asking God for help God wants us to depend on Him in everything Follow and trust in God

Joab killed Abner for revenge of his borther Asahel’s death Abner had diplomatic status and the promise of peaceful transit from David He was not justified, he should just let God do the work Could have caused conflicts, war He wanted revenge

Hezekiah had prayed for an heir and a long life. He has walked faithfully with God and has been devoted to him. The Lord answers prayers if there truthful. He gives us what is good for us The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective Our sin blocks our prayers God loves us and we’ll usually give us what we want

God listen to Hezekiah’s prayer and restored his health. He walked with God He is an example for all who desire such faithfulness during difficult days and a reminder not to forget the Lord when things go too smoothly. God had promised David that his heir would always be king.

Hezekiah could approach God directly, since he had a relationship with God he didn’t need Isaiah to act on his behalf. The spreading of the message was between Hezekiah and God God has the authority over us Hezekiah is only a servant It is the Lord’s battle, and we are to let Him fight it. Try to solve things on your own We’ll lose control

It's easier to look elsewhere and quicker for help. We don't always get an answer right away If we seek help elsewhere it's like we don't trust or have faith and hope in God To have faith and trust in God

Because he loves us, he shows us compassion. He is a God of Justice He will hear our cries for help We need to let the Holy Spirit come in us

David believed Saul was in God’s hand so he left hm alone. David remember Saul being a mighty warrior and that he was anointed by the Lord to become King The Chronicler's epitaph on Saul's life and legacy speaks of the judgment of the Lord against him: "Saul died because he was unfaithful to the LORD; he did not keep the word of the LORD and even consulted a medium for for guidance, and did not inquire of the LORD. So the LORD put him to death and turned the kingdom over to David son of Jesse." (1 Chronicles 10:13-14) Saul didnt look up to God For guidance or anything, he felt he could do it himself I learned to follow God

He knew the land and God was his salvation and light. His soul would raise in the Lord. He calls on God and trusts him he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. His faith was with God and his power
