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.
