Introduction to Scripture
Introduction to Scripture: 2 Samuel 5:1-10
In 2 Samuel 5:1-10, we witness a pivotal moment in Israel’s history. David, now anointed as king over all Israel, establishes Jerusalem as the capital. This passage not only highlights David’s leadership but also reveals God’s faithfulness in fulfilling His promises to His people. Let us delve into these verses with open hearts, ready to glean wisdom and inspiration for our own journey of faith.
Scripture: 2 Samuel 5:1-10 (NIV)
2 Samuel 5:1-10 (NIV)
1 All the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and said, “We are your own flesh and blood. 2 In the past, while Saul was king over us, you were the one who led Israel on their military campaigns. And the Lord said to you, ‘You will shepherd my people Israel, and you will become their ruler.'”
3 When all the elders of Israel had come to King David at Hebron, the king made a covenant with them at Hebron before the Lord, and they anointed David king over Israel.
4 David was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned forty years. 5 In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned over all Israel and Judah thirty-three years.
6 The king and his men marched to Jerusalem to attack the Jebusites, who lived there. The Jebusites said to David, “You will not get in here; even the blind and the lame can ward you off.” They thought, “David cannot get in here.” 7 Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion—which is the City of David.
8 On that day David had said, “Anyone who conquers the Jebusites will have to use the water shaft to reach those ‘lame and blind’ who are David’s enemies.” That is why they say, “The ‘blind and lame’ will not enter the palace.”
9 David then took up residence in the fortress and called it the City of David. He built up the area around it, from the terraces inward. 10 And he became more and more powerful, because the Lord God Almighty was with him.
Intercessory Prayer
Heavenly Father, as we reflect on David’s journey to establish Jerusalem, we are reminded of your sovereignty and provision. Just as you guided David through challenges, we lift up our own concerns and burdens before you today. Strengthen us in times of difficulty, and grant us wisdom to navigate our paths with faith and courage. May we, like David, trust in your promises and experience your steadfast presence in our lives. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Congregational Response
Lord, as David trusted in your guidance and saw your faithfulness, help us to trust in you wholeheartedly. May we build our lives upon your promises, knowing that you are with us in every circumstance. May our hearts be united in faith and our actions reflect your love to the world. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
