1 Crônicas 29

Guzik - Other kings over Israel or Judah had reigns longer, more secure, or more prosperous than David’s reign – but none were more glorious or godly. David remains Israel’s model king, pointing us to Jesus the Messiah, Israel’s greatest king. 1 Chronicles 29:28 Then he died in a ripe old age, full of days, riches and honor; and his son Solomon reigned in his place.

(1:15) So Bathsheba went in to the king in the bedroom. Now the king was very old, and Abishag the Shunammite was ministering to the king. 1 Kings 2:5-6 “Now you also know what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, what he did to the two commanders of the armies of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner, and to Amasa the son of Jether, whom he killed; he also shed the blood of war in peace. And he put the blood of war on his belt about his waist, and on his sandals on his feet. 6 “So act according to your wisdom, and do not let his gray hair go down to Sheol in peace. (2:8-9) “Behold, there is with you Shimei the son of Gera the Benjamite, of Bahurim; now it was he who cursed me with a violent curse on the day I went to Mahanaim. But when he came down to me at the Jordan, I swore to him by the LORD, saying, ‘I will not put you to death with the sword.’ 9 “Now therefore, do not let him go unpunished, for you are a wise man; and you will know what you ought to do to him, and you will bring his gray hair down to Sheol with blood.” 1 Kings 2:10-12 Then David slept with his fathers and was buried in the city of David. 11The days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years he reigned in Hebron and thirty-three years he reigned in Jerusalem. 12 And Solomon sat on the throne of David his father, and his kingdom was firmly established. DAVID'S LIFE SUMMARY Then he died in a ripe old age, full of days, riches and honor - Abraham had a similar description "Abraham breathed his last and died in a ripe old age, an old man and satisfied with life; and he was gathered to his people."(Genesis 25:8) These men just not live but they were like fruit trees that bore fruit and became ripe and ready to be harvested which is what God did in both of their lives. This picture reminds me of the blessed man in Psalm 1 whose "delight is in the law of the LORD, and in His law he meditates day and night. He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season and its leaf does not wither; and in whatever he does, he prospers." (Ps 1:2-3) Paul reminds us that "David, after he had served the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep." (Acts 13:36+) David knew that "our days on the earth are like a shadow" (1Ch 29:15) and so he sought to redeem the time, with the result that he fulfilled God's purpose for his life and was plucked from earth because he was a tree that bore fruit in season and out. THOUGHT - Every person born is born with a purpose that is God ordained. Sadly, only believers can fulfill God's purpose for their lives, but sadly even believers can miss God's purpose. The life of David should teach us that past sins should not keep us from pression on toward to goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. It is never too late to begin to redeem the time....that is, until it's too late. Pray for God's Spirit to open the eyes of your heart to know the hope of his calling and the truth that you are God's masterpiece created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. (Eph 2:10). Ask Him specifically to reveal to you the good works that were pre-prepared for you in eternity past. Swindoll - Now there’s an epitaph to be pleased with: “He died in a ripe old age, full of days, riches, and honor.” Good for you, David! When a man of God dies, nothing of God dies. And when a man of God dies, none of God’s principles die. Nowhere is that seen more clearly than in the life of David. What lessons can we learn from such a man? We learn hope, in spite of his humanity. We learn courage, even in the midst of his own fear. We learn encouragement and praise in the songs that grew out of his hours of despair. We learn forgiveness in his dark moments of sin. And we learn the value of serving the purpose of God in our own generation, even though all our dreams may not be fulfilled. Thank you, David, for being our model, teaching us by your life such significant truths. And thank you, Father, for being our Master; using us though we are weak, forgiving us when we fail, and loving us through all the Sauls and Goliaths and Jonathans and Abigails and Bathshebas and Absaloms and Joabs and Solomons of our lives. Thank you for showing us that we can be people like David . . . people of passion and destiny. (ED: AND MEN AND WOMEN AFTER GOD'S OWN HEART! Acts 13:22+, cf HOW HE BEGAN - 1Sa 16:7+).(Borrow David : a man of passion & destiny) and his son Solomon reigned in his place - Despite David's faults, his steadfast love of the LORD directed him in the direction of obedience and as a result he was able to pass the kingdom to his son, something no other king would be able to do in regard to the united kingdom. David was the only one who obtained this blessing. Wycliffe Bible Commentary (borrow) - 1 Kings qualifies this generalization with certain specific matters of a less complimentary nature (1 Kings 1:1-4, 15; 2:5-6, 8-9). As John
