David Becomes King, Friday, April 6, 2012

Today's readings are taken from I Kings and I Chronocles.  David's kingship begins in Judah and lasts 7 1/2 years in Hebron.  During this time,, Ish-Bosheth, another son of Saul is king of Israel.  After bloody battles and much intrigue, Ish-Bosheth is assassinated by two  men and David is anointed king of all Israel at the age of 30.  A lot has happened to David during his short life.  He continues to reigh Israel for 40 years.
