Nevertheless, 1 Samuel 16:13 says “the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon David.” David’s first interaction with King Saul was to use his music to soothe the king’s evil spirit, but later became the focus of his jealous rage after defeating the Philistine champion Goliath with the help of the Lord Almighty (1 Sam. 17:45) and his sling and stone (1 Sam 17:50). King Saul’s rage grew even more, causing David to become a fugitive, running from a very angry king

According to Gelles, in the case of David, preexisting family issues were overlooked which should have played a major role in determining the suitability of David’s home. In his book, Gelles addresses several issues that state families should be maintained and that children are better off with their parents than in a custody system. “The Book of David,” is a nonfiction story about the short life of David Edward.

We see throughout 1 Chronicles the qualities of the impressive army King David had to go to battle with but he didn’t win because of them. King David didn’t win the battles because of his superior wisdom or tactics or because his enemies were weak or stupid. Victory only came due to him taking territories in the place of praise, worship, prayer and intersession; God in answer to his cry granted him victory always.
