Summary
Today we’ll be reading about the death of King David from two sources. The first will be from 1 Chronicles as we conclude that book. In this reading, we’ll hear a prayer that David gives in the assembly of the leaders of Israel, followed by a brief account of Solomon coming to power as king. Our second reading will be from 1 Kings, which gives a much more dramatic perspective on what took place during that transition of power. David’s oldest son, Adonijah, gains support for himself from well-known leaders like Joab and Abiathar, calling Judah together for a feast to celebrate his bid for kingship. Nathan the prophet catches word, and teams up with Bathsheba to alert the king that Solomon’s title of king is being contested in an underhanded scheme to usurp David’s decree.
