1 Chronicles 18 · Grade 4

A King Who Gave It Back

Name Date

Read and Think

After God's promise in chapter 17, this chapter shows the promise at work. David defeated the Philistines, Moab, Zobah, Syria, and Edom. The Chronicler repeats twice that Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went (18:6, 18:13).

David took the shields of gold from Hadadezer's servants and much bronze. Tou king of Hamath sent his son with gifts of gold, silver, and bronze. David gave all of it to Yahweh. Later Solomon made the bronze sea and the pillars from it.

Verse 14 gives the heart of David's rule: he reigned over all Israel and executed justice and righteousness for all his people. Joab led the army, Jehoshaphat was recorder, Zadok and Ahimelech were priests, and David's sons were chief at the king's side.

1 Chronicles 18 · Grade 5

Victory Given, Treasure Dedicated

Name Date

Read and Think

Chapter 18 summarizes David's wars as proof that God was keeping his word. The Philistines, Moab, Zobah, Damascus, and Edom all came under David's rule. Twice the Chronicler says the same thing: Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went. The success belonged to God, not only to David's skill.

The chapter also shows what David did with his gains. The shields of gold, the bronze from Hadadezer's cities, and the gifts of Tou king of Hamath were all dedicated to Yahweh, along with silver and gold from every nation he subdued. Verse 8 notes that Solomon used this bronze for the bronze sea, the pillars, and the vessels of the temple.

David's victories prepared materials for a temple he would never build. Verse 14 adds the moral center of his kingdom: David executed justice and righteousness for all his people. Power, wealth, and justice were all turned toward God's purposes.

  1. What does chapter 18 prove?

  3. What did Solomon use the bronze for?

  4. What did David's victories prepare?

  5. What is the moral center of David's kingdom?
