Week 5: David Made King Over All Israel

2 Samuel 5 records one of the most significant transitions in Israel’s history — David is finally made king over all Israel. The chapter shows God’s faithfulness in fulfilling His promises and David’s humility in receiving them. He unites the nation, captures Jerusalem, and establishes it as the kingdom's political and spiritual center. Through victory over enemies and the building of his house, God confirms His presence with David. Each scene reveals that the strength of God’s people depends not on human power or strategy, but on obedience and trust in the Lord. David’s leadership points forward to Christ, the true Son of David, whose eternal reign brings peace, unity, and salvation to all who follow Him.
