David Becomes Kig 2 Samuel 5:1-5; Psalm 37 David Mours Kig Saul We begi this quarter of Old Testamet studies with the aoitig of David as kig of Israel. May years earlier, Israel s first kig, Saul, had tured from the Lord, ad God had selected David to succeed Saul. For years after that, Saul sought to have David killed. However, David had refused to act agaist Saul or to become kig util he was certai of God s timig. He had lived a difficult life, almost as a outlaw. Now Saul was dead; after beig wouded i battle, he had take his ow life. I fact, Saul ad three of his sos, icludig David s fried Joatha, had died i the same battle (1 Samuel 31:1-6). So the door was wide ope for David to become kig of Israel. David did t rejoice whe he leared of the deaths. Istead he ad all his me moured ad wept the etire day (2 Samuel 1:1-12). David eve wrote a sog i hoor of Saul ad Joatha, which ca be foud i 2 Samuel 1: He was truly saddeed that their lives had eded as they did. he relied o God, God rewarded him ad Israel with prosperity. David wrote Psalm 37, which describes his trust i God eve whe he was surrouded by eemies. I this psalm, David says to delight yourself i the Lord ad he will give you the desires of your heart (Psalm 37:). This could have bee the theme of David s life. The Jesus Coectio BIBLe BACKGROUND FOR LEADERS Through Jesus, God showed us how to take every step of life relyig o him. Because of Jesus courage, we ca believe that trustig God will always be worth it! What past experiece has God used to teach you how to rely o him? God has a woderful way of ot lettig teachable momets i our lives go to waste. What is God usig to teach you right ow? BIBLE BACKGROUNDS give teachers a deeper uderstadig of the Scripture for their ow spiritual growth! JESUS CONNECTION ad life applicatio of the lesso to help teachers reflect ad pray! Uitig the Kigdom David was made kig of Judah. Israel followed Aber, the commader of Saul s army, who made Ish-Bosheth, a so of Saul, kig over Israel (2 Samuel 2:1-9). After years of much fightig, itrigue, ad bloodshed, Ish-Bosheth was murdered, ad the leaders of Israel came to David to make him kig over them. Ask God for wisdom to see ad stregth to move forward with faith, kowig that he ll always have everythig you eed. You ca write your prayer here. David Leads Israel David was 37 whe he became kig over all Israel. He had first bee aoited to succeed Saul may years earlier, while still i his tees. After his log, patiet wait, David was able to lead Israel to great prosperity, fed off the Philisties, ad expad the boudaries of Israel durig his reig. David was t perfect, but as 6 7

Toilet-Paper Failure 2 rolls of toilet paper assorted items from your room Toilet-Paper Failure Welcome kids warmly as they arrive, ad ask them how their week wet. Have childre form two teams. Give each team a roll of toilet paper. Tell kids to make a stretcher from the toilet paper, about 2 feet log. Whe teams have made their stretchers, have two people o each team hold their team s stretcher. Place a item o each stretcher (the two items should be the same or similar i weight). Some items you may wat to use are buildig blocks, toys, office supplies, kitche utesils, or books. Whe you say go, teams will race to carry their stretchers to the other ed of the room ad back. Whe a pair returs, they had off their stretcher to the ext pair o the team. Before that pair races to the other ed of the room ad back, place aother item o the stretcher. Evetually load items that are heavy eough to break the toilet-paper stretchers. Cotiue i this maer util the stretchers break. Have kids aswer the followig questios with their teams. After each questio, ivite willig childre to share their aswers with the rest of the group. Why was t the toilet paper reliable? What does it mea to rely o somethig or someoe? Say: To rely o someoe or somethig meas that we cout o that perso or thig ot to fail or let us dow. We rely o thigs, ad they sometimes fail. Eve people sometimes fail. But we ca always rely o God because God ever fails. Today we ll talk about why WE CAN RELY ON GOD. Figer-Puppet Kig Say: Today s Bible passage tells us about someoe who relied o God. I 2 Samuel 5:1-5, the Bible tells us that David became kig over Israel. Ope your Bible, ad show the passage to the group. David used to be a simple shepherd boy, but God chose him to be kig over the whole atio. So he became kig. Let s make somethig fu to help us remember our Bible passage. Give each child a paper strip. Have kids each loop it ad the tape it aroud the forefiger o their o-domiat had. Have kids tape oe of the Figer-Puppet patters to the paper loop. Set out fie-tipped markers for kids to share. Have each child draw tiy facial features o their figer for the puppet s face. As kids are workig, softly play He s the Kig (track 2 o the CD). Give kids a few miutes to fiish their figer puppets, offerig help as eeded. Tell kids they ll use their figer puppets i the ext activity. What does a ew kig eed to kow? Who could a ew kig rely o for help? I what ways ca we rely o God for help? Say: David kew beig kig was a big job, ad he kew he could fail. So he chose to rely o God to help him be a good kig. I fact, David wrote a sog to tell why he relied o God. The words to the sog are i the Bible i Psalm 37. Let s lear about the sog he wrote.

Trust i the Lord ad do good, because (Prompt childre to respod.) God will reward those who follow his ways, because (Prompt childre to respod.) Be still before the Lord ad wait patietly for him, because (Prompt childre to respod.) Do t get agry whe people do bad thigs; God will help you deal with them, because (Prompt childre to respod.) God takes care of his childre, because (Prompt childre to respod.) Say: Now I m goig to ask you some questios about the Bible passage ad about relyig o God. Tur to a parter ad get ready to use your puppets to aswer some questios. Why did David eed to rely o God? Why ca we rely o God? Say: God ever fails. David may have felt scared of the big job of rulig a whole coutry. But he kew he could rely o God to help him. Sometimes thigs get scary for us, but we ca remember that WE CAN RELY ON GOD. Use your puppet to talk to your parter about these questios. Whe have you had a big job to do that seemed scary? What ca you do to rely o God whe you have a big job to do? Say: Whe we feel afraid as David may have WE CAN RELY ON GOD to help us. God helped David, ad God will help us. Give each child a Bible. If you do t have a Bible for each child, have kids use their hads for the followig activity. Say: Let s practice a way of rememberig that God is our refuge ad ever-preset help i times of trouble. Whe I say, God is our refuge, place the Bible over your head as if you re usig it to protect yourself. Whe I say, God is a ever-preset help i trouble, hold the Bible close to your heart ad hug it. Here we go. Whe kids seem able, ask them to repeat the phrases after you say them ad as they re doig the actios. Collect the Bibles. What does it mea for God to be our refuge? What does it mea for God to help us whe we re i trouble? Whe has God helped you? Say: Our Key Verse promises that God will protect us whe we re scared or i dager. It also promises that God will help us be strog ad will always be here to help us. WE CAN RELY ON GOD because God ever fails.
