- Editorial on David
- See that boy? He's selling a newspaper with a photo of King
David on the front. In their editorials, newspapers give their
opinions about what's going on. In a way, the book of 1
Chronicles gives us God's Editorial on David—His opinion of
David's time as Israel's king.
- You're right—we already read the story of King David back in
1 and 2 Samuel (remember those goofy "sand-mules"?). But this
time, we get God's point of view.
- 1 Chronicles talks about what happened to Israel while David
was king. It was written by priests who saw and remembered
everything—the good stuff and the bad stuff! And it ends with
the death of King David. Then 2 Chronicles picks up the story
with King Solomon.
- The two books called Chronicles are interesting because we
can find out how God felt about what happened in Israel. When we
read God's editorial, we can learn good lessons, like how to do
things that please God! We can also find out the things that we
should not do—things that are not wise in God's sight.
