V. 1-5 - The Crowning of David as King
David’s kingship started on the best note possible - He enquired of the Lord
Imagine How different the stories would have ended if these Old Testaments saints enquired after the Lord
Lot - Economics
Sampson - Passion - He had so much potential
Solomon - Peace
David
If we do not enquire of the Lord we will share in their failures
There are several experience I want to share by faith with Old Testament saints
I want to experience crossing the Jordan River
Defeat Goliath’s in my life
Standing still as God gives the victory
His servants crowned him king
His servants were a hodgepodge of people
There were bleak, helpless, and hopeless and times through the journey
They were relentlessly chased by King Saul
They had to leave their home land
Made an alliance with their arch enemy
Their home was ransacked
Through it all they stayed behind God’s man.
This was as much as their reward as it was David’s
The Competition v.6-11
David found out that Jabesh GIlead buried the bodies of King Saul and his sons who died in battle
He commends them
David wanted them to join his Kingdom
After all, everything was going well
The enemy
There is always an enemy
Satan is not going to stand by while good things happen
Abner - King Saul’s cousin and Commander in Chief
He was disobedient to God’s plan and elevated a surviving son of Saul - Ishbosheth - to king of Israel
Abner failed to protect the King by David
Abner lost a major battle
Ishbosheth was named king by a general but not God
Right motives, wrong choice
Having right motives is not the end all
Right motives must be followed by right action
We can be sincere but sincerely wrong!
Our motives must be right but also our actions
A Senseless Battle that solved nothing v.12-32
Conclusion
Ishbosheth - Weak people - He got to where he was because of who he knew.
He was manipulated by Abner - he would be assassinated in 2 years
Abner - Selfish people - Manipulators - he got what he wanted but lost everything he had in two years
People called of God for their position
