Life of David: Passing the Torch
Life of David: Passing the Torch 1 Kings 2:1-4, 10-12
Historian G. Frederick Owen • “David satisfied the people throughout Israel. He quieted the Philistines for all time to come. And then in the midst of peace and blessing, he wrote many Psalms of praise to Jehovah. The king gathered vast stores of iron and brass and precious stones and jewels and cedar for the erection of the temple of God. He gave his parting charge, and closed the most successful royal career recorded in the annals of history.”
