## Resource

In our reading from 1 Chronicles, David is established as king, and the author takes his coronation as an opportunity to chronicle the exploits of David’s men who had been with him in the wilderness, and who continued with him in his new kingdom. Now that David has been recognized as king, it’s time for him to begin to establish his kingdom. In 2 Samuel 5, David consults the Lord before he goes into battle, and the Lord responds to each request for guidance. This may seem unremarkable, but remember that the Lord stopped responding to Saul’s requests for guidance, and it drove him to madness and desperation. When the Lord answers David’s prayers, it’s a sign that the Lord is truly with him.
