Their caretakers slew them in allegiance to Jehu and in accordance with the word of God spoken about Ahab’s line. Finally, he gathered all the prophets and followers of Baal in Israel for a feast, closed the door, and killed them all. Thus eradicating the sins of the line of Ahab from Israel. But all this killing would take a toll on him as well.

Video Version 

2 Samuel 2:3 And David brought up the men who were with him, every man with his household. So they dwelt in the cities of Hebron. Then the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. 

Transcript:
And now, Admonition, brought to you by the Collierville Church of Christ 

In Second Samuel, Chapter two, and in verse four we read, Then the men of Judah came. And there they anointed David king over the house of Judah.

These leaders of Judah come and they anoint David as their king. Let me ask you a question. Whoever gave them authority to anoint the King? The answer is no one.  Samuel had already anointed David as King. And it was simply a matter of waiting until Saul's life was over before he would take that throne, or have it given to him by God that is. 

These men had no authority to anoint David or to oppose him because he was the Lord's anointed.

2 Samuel 2:1-2 - It happened after this that David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up to any of the cities of Judah? And the LORD said to him, Go up. David said, Where shall I go up? And He said, To Hebron. 2 So David went up there…

TRANSCRIPT: 

And now, Admonition, brought to you by the Collierville Church of Christ. 

In 2 Samuel 2, David inquires of Lord as to whether or not he should go up to Judah after Saul's death, and the Lord tells him to go.

But that's not enough for David. David has been told to go, but David wants more clarity on where to go. So, he inquires of Lord, to what city should I go? And the Lord says to Hebron. 

Sometimes we need to look a little deeper, and sometimes we need to get clarification. When God has given us a command and we're not completely sure how to fulfill it, let's dig a little deeper and learn what God would have us to do exactly as he said.

2 Samuel 2:1-2 - It happened after this that David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up to any of the cities of Judah? And the LORD said to him, Go up. David said, Where shall I go up? And He said, To Hebron. 2 So David went up there…

TRANSCRIPT: 

And now, Admonition, brought to you by the Collierville Church of Christ. 

In Second Samuel, Chapter two, we read about David enquiring of the Lord and asking the Lord, What should I do now that Saul is dead? Should I go up to the cities of Judah? And the Lord tells him to go up. 

Guess what David does? Having found out what God wants him to do. He does it. You and I need to learn in our lives that obedience ought to be that simple.

When we know what God has told us to do, we simply ought to do it.

2 Samuel 2:1 - It happened after this that David inquired of the LORD, saying, "Shall I go up to any of the cities of Judah?" And the LORD said to him, "Go up." David said, "Where shall I go up?" And He said, "To Hebron."

Transcript:

And now, Admonition, brought to you by the Collierville Church of Christ. 

We read in 2 Samuel 2 in verse 1 that after the death of Saul David is going to do something. We read Verse one.

It happened after this that David inquired of the Lord saying, Shall I go up to any of the cities of Judah? And the Lord said to him, Go up.  

David when he's trying to decide what to do, inquired of the Lord, and we need to learn that lesson in our own lives.

We need to learn that before we make big decisions and small ones, we should pray and seek God's guidance.

2 Samuel 1:23 Saul and Jonathan were beloved and pleasant in their lives, And in their death they were not divided; They were swifter than eagles, They were stronger than lions.

TRANSCRIPT:
And now, Admonition, brought to you by the Collierville Church of Christ. 

How do you speak about those who do you wrong? When David is mourning the death of Saul and Jonathan... Saul, of course, being one who had tried to kill him, who had run him away from his own home, who was seeking his life.  And yet, David says, in 2 Samuel 1:23, 

Saul and Jonathan were beloved and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided. They were swifter than eagles. They were stronger than lions. 

David chose to speak good of one who have done evil to him.  How are you speaking about those who are your enemies today?

2 Samuel 1:14-16 So David said to him, "How was it you were not afraid to put forth your hand to destroy the LORD'S anointed?"  15 Then David called one of the young men and said, "Go near, and execute him!" And he struck him so that he died.16 So David said to him, "Your blood is on your own head, for your own mouth has testified against you, saying, 'I have killed the LORD'S anointed.'"

Transcript:
And now, Admonition, brought to you by the Collierville Church of Christ. 

Has your mouth ever gotten you in trouble? I know one person's who did.  An individual comes to David after Saul and Jonathan die on the battlefield against the Philistines and he claims to have killed Saul.

We read in Second Samuel chapter one that after he claims this, David will command him to be executed and will say, "your blood is on your own head for your own mouth has testified against you saying, "I have killed the Lord's anointed."

We need to be careful how we use our mouth. Sometimes it just might get us in a world of trouble.

2 Samuel  1:14 So David said to him, "How was it you were not afraid to put forth your hand to destroy the LORD'S anointed?"

2 Samuel 4:9-10 But David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, "As the LORD lives, who has redeemed my life from all adversity, when someone told me, saying, 'Look, Saul is dead,' thinking to have brought good news, I arrested him and had him executed in Ziklag-the one who thought I would give him a reward for his news.

TRANSCRIPT:
And now, Admonition, brought to you by the Colliervillle Church of Christ. 

There's a lesson for us in 2 Samuel, Chapter one. A man comes to David seeking a reward. He claims to have killed Saul on the battlefield.

He claims to have been the one who killed the king who was trying to kill David. And he thought David would like this... But David didn't, because we read that David will command this individual to be executed and will say, 

Your blood is on your own head for your own mouth has testified against you, saying I have killed the Lord's anointed.

As far as David was concerned, it was up to God. What would happen with Saul was not up to this man who took the actions into his own hands

2Sa 1:14 So David said to him, "How was it you were not afraid to put forth your hand to destroy the LORD'S anointed?" 15 Then David called one of the young men and said, "Go near, and execute him!" And he struck him so that he died.

Transcript:

And now, Admonition, brought to you by the Collierville Church of Christ. 

There's a man who comes to David when Saul has died, Saul and Jonathan fall in battle, and this man comes to tell David the news, and it's not going to turn out the way he hoped.

He believes he's going to come and bring this news of Saul dying, and David would be glad, and David would reward him, but something else happens instead. 

In second Samuel, Chapter one David said in verse 14. How was it you were not afraid to put forth your hand to destroy the Lord's anointed?

This man claimed to have killed Saul with his own hand, and David pronounced this man's judgment based upon his own testimony.
