2 Samuel 1:1-2:11
John 12:20-50
Psalm 118:19-29
Proverbs 15:27-28
Question of the day: Why did Judah appoint it's own king, and the rest of Israel appoint a different one?
In that day, it was customary for the kingdom to be handed down from father to son, so when King Saul died, it was natural that his son would take over the kingdom of Israel. Judah, however, had a different idea. David was from Judah, and the men there made David their king, after he was sent there by God. He ruled Judah for seven years, until King Ishbosheth was assassinated. Then the elders of Israel asked David to be their king as well.
