2 Samuel 5-6

God is merciful.  He would grant His people their desire for a king.  But now He would raise up a king who would lead them to Him.  "Then David knew that the Lord had established him as king over Israel and had exalted his kingdom for the sake of His people Israel" (5:12).

David was not perfect.  But one thing characterized his life and it is found in this confession: "I will celebrate before the Lord, and I will humble myself even more and humiliate myself." (6:21-22)
