2 Samuel 21 · Grade 2
God Answered Prayer
Read the Story
For three years there was a famine. That means there was not enough food. David went to God and asked why.
God told David that Saul had done wrong to the Gibeonites. Israel had promised to keep them safe. David worked to make it right. He also buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan in their family's tomb. Then God answered prayer for the land.
Later there were battles with giants from Gath. One giant had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. David's men won. One day David was very tired. His friend Abishai helped him.
Memory Verse
“They buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father; and they performed all that the king commanded. After that, God answered prayer for the land.”
