COMMENTARY


Our study tonight is from 1chronicles chapter 9 vs 1


I will just be giving a brief summary.. We can read up for more understanding.

David Rallies the Troops
We know we promised no more genealogies, but we are in for some pretty heavy duty lists in this chapter.
There's a list of the guys who followed David before he was king. They were from the tribe of Benjamin so they were related to Saul.
There were also some warriors from Gad's tribe that teamed up with him. Oh, and don't forget those joiners from the tribes of Benjamin and Judah.

A kingdom is not built overnight. It took several
years for David to assemble a band of loyal
warriors, willing to be at his side through any
difficulty.

 

While he was in Philistine lands,
escaping for his life, many defected Saul and
came to his side. David considered each man that
came to him as a gift from God. He had them in
such high esteem that he preserved a list of those
who joined him while he was at Ziklag.

 

Among the qualities that inspired new soldiers to
follow David was his uncompromising character.
He was loyal to King Saul, even when persecuted
by him. He treated his soldiers with respect, telling
them the truth and affirming their value.
Think for a moment about the people that have
helped you in decisive moments of your life. They
were sent by God to strengthen you. Hold them in
high esteem. If possible, write them a word of
gratitude.

 

Decide yourself to be faithful to leaders that
champion noble causes. Supporting them you are
fostering God’s kingdom.

 

These guys came in handy when David was hanging out in the mountains (even though he was a little leery of them at first… they could be double agents).
Men from Manasseh's tribes came over to David's side when they saw him trample the Philistines. That battle between him and Goliath was pretty epic.
After David becomes king even more people rally to his side. We're talking tens of thousands of soldiers from every one of the 12 tribes of Israel.
Everyone comes to Hebron for a huge coronation in David's honor

  READ FULL CHAPTER   HERE COORDINATOR   : AFOLABI JOSEPH OLAJDE David procures a superabundance of materials for the temple’s construction. He exhorts both Solomon and the nation’s leaders to follow Moses’ law and to build the temple with aplomb. II. Photo David sets aside a superabundance of materials for his son Solomon: “Much iron for nails for the doors of the gates and for clasps did David lay aside, and so much copper it could not be weighed, and cedar logs without number — for the Sidonians and the Tyrians brought many cedar logs to David.” (vv. 3-4) III. Important Verses vv. 1-2, 5: David said, “Here will be the House of the LORD and here the altar of burnt offerings for Israel.” David gave orders to assemble the aliens living in the land of Israel, and assigned them to be hewers, to quarry and dress stones for building the House of God… For David thought, “My son Solomon is an untried youth, and the House to be built for the LORD is to be made exceedingly great ...

  READ FULL CHAPTER  HERE COORDINATOR:  AFOLABI JOSEPH OLAJIDE COMMENTARY Saul’s life can be summed up in one word – ‘unfaithfulness’: ‘he was unfaithful to the Lord’. This is a warning: Don`t become like Saul who ‘did not keep the command of the Lord… and did not seek guidance from the Lord’ (10:13-14). What a violent end for a violent man! Saul made many mistakes over the course of his life and time as king, but the greatest seemed to surround his relationship with God.  He refused to listen to  God’s leading time and time again and instead turned to Satan himself for guidance. Turning to a medium was a slap in God's face. God had continually offered His advice and leading to Saul, but Saul turned his back on God and asked the enemy for help instead. It was clear that Saul did not agree with God and it led him to a violent, tragic, untimely death. Saul had continually turned off God’s voice in his head and when it came time for his final moments, he wasn’t eve...
