 This class teaches us more about David and his son Solomon. We pick up the story of David at age 30 at the death of King Saul who was killed by the Philistine army. David takes over as king of Judah. King David -- David King over Judah. At Saul's death the southern kingdom, Judah, takes David as their king, but the northern kingdom, Israel, takes Saul's son Ishbosheth for their king. (2 Samuel 1-4) -- David King of all Israel after Ishbosheth's death. (2 Samuel 5) -- David conquers Jerusalem and brings the Ark. Guided by God and the Holy Spirit David moves to make Jerusalem the new capitol, a strategic move in unifying the north and the south. David conquers Jerusalem away from the Jebusites by going through water tunnels and caves that went under the city wall. (This tunnel system can be seen today.) He immediately moves the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem. Jerusalem is the heart of the Jewish nation. The place where God's Name would dwell and the place that David's son Solomon would build the Temple. David unified the nation and worked to restore worship of God. He was also a warrior and grew the empire. (2 Samuel 5-6) -- David and Bathsheba - David is a man after God's own heart, he has a heart for worship of God, but he is also a sinful being. Pastor shares his visit to what is possibly the "Palace of David" that was uncovered in an archeological dig several years ago. Pastor tells us about Psalm 51, the psalm written by David in repentance for adultery with Bathsheba and for the murder plan of her husband Uriah. Nothing we do is hidden from God and Nathan the prophet confronts David with a "story" that reveals to David the depth of his sin. These sins bring much tragedy. David was forgiven, but sin has consequences. (2 Samuel 11-12) -- Amnon and Tamar and Absalom (2 Samuel 13) -- Absalom's rebellion and the saving of David by God. (2 Samuel 15-20) We move into 1 Kings and the story of David's successor, his son Solomon. Like his father, Solomon will reign for 40 years. Solomon's Early Reign -- Adonijah, Bathsheba and Nathan - Pastor shares his visit to the Gihon Spring (where Solomon was anointed king). (1 Kings 1) -- Abishag, Bathsheba and Adonijah - Adonijah is killed to secure Solomon's kingship. (1 Kings 2) -- Abiathar and Joab. Abiathar the High Priest is exiled and Solomon puts Zadok in as High Priest, a man who had a real heart for God. Solomon gets rid of Joab as the military commander, thus establishing his kingship and also showing his heart for God. David, his father, had the plans for building God's temple and Solomon is to build it and firmly establish worship of God. (1 Kings 2) -- Request for Wisdom - we read from 1 Kings 3:5-13: "At Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon during the night in a dream, and God said, "Ask for whatever you want me to give you." Solomon answered, "You have shown great kindness to your servant, my father David, because he was faithful to you and righteous and upright in heart. You have continued this great kindness to him and have given him a son to sit on his throne this very day. "Now, Lord my God, you have made your servant king in place of my father David. But I am only a little child and do not know how to carry out my duties. Your servant is here among the people you have chosen, a great people, too numerous to count or number. So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong. For who is able to govern this great people of yours?" The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for this. So God said to him, "Since you have asked for this and not for long life or wealth for yourself, nor have asked for the death of your enemies but for discernment in administering justice, I will do what you have asked. I will give you a wise and discerning heart, so that there will never have been anyone like you, nor will there ever be. Moreover, I will give you what you have not asked for—both wealth and honor—so that in your lifetime you will have no equal among kings. And if you walk in obedience to me and keep my decrees and commands as David your father did, I will give you a long life." (1 Kings 3:4-15) -- Wise Ruler - Solomon had remarkable wisdom and Israel prospers as a result. As Solomon's life goes on we see he started well, he accomplished much, but he ended poorly. He had squandered his opportunities, thus calling us to finish well, to remain faithful to the Lord and walk in His paths. It means being out of step with the world, but being in step with God. (1 Kings 3:16-28) High Points of Solomon -- Built the Temple - massive, covered in gold and constructed of marble. Took 7 years to build. (1 Kings 6) -- Built his palace - took 14 years to build. (1 Kings 7) -- Brings Ark into the Temple and held a Dedication (1 Kings 8) -- 2nd Visitation from God - we read in 1 Kings 9:2-7 "the Lord appeared to him a second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.
