Lesson Overview

“David shepherded them [Israel] with integrity of heart; with skillful hands he led them” (Ps. 78:72). Second Samuel records David’s triumphs and his pains as Israel’s great king. You will also study the source of Christ’s title, “Son of David.”

Lesson Objectives

When you complete this lesson, you should be able to:

  • Describe David’s triumphs and defeats and connect them to his character.
  • Explain how David responded to his sins in such a way that God would remember him as “A man who followed God with his whole heart.”
  • List principles for godly living and leadership.
