Kindness and Courage

Name Date

Read the Story

The king of Ammon died. His son became king. David said, I will be kind to him. His father was kind to me. So David sent men to comfort him.

But the princes said, These men are spies. They treated David's men badly and made them feel shame. Then the Ammonites got other armies to help them fight.

Joab led David's army. He told his brother, Be brave! Let us be strong for our people. God will do what is good. God helped Israel win.

Memory Verse

Be courageous, and let’s be strong for our people and for the cities of our God; and may Yahweh do what seems good to him.”

2 Samuel 10:12 (WEB)
