Story:

King David had been king for Israel now for 40 years. Sometimes he had forgotten God, but mostly he had loved God and he had served God. 

King David knew he was going to die soon, so he called two people to visit him.  Nathan, God’s prophet and Zadok, God’s priest.  He told them, God told me that my son Solomon will be the next King.  Find him and have him ride on a donkey to the palace.  Anoint him with oil and  proclaim to everyone—Solomon is King!

David gave Solomon gave him a great kingdom—full of wealth and power—but most importantly, David taught Solomon how to listen to God.

Once David died, God came to Solomon in a dream.  God asked Solomon—what do you need, now that you are King? God offered him any gift. Solomon wanted to be a good King, like his father so he asked for WISDOM.  Wisdom to make good choices for the people of Israel.  God blessed Solomon with so much wisdom that people came from countries far away to ask him questions and seek his help. The country of Israel was at peace. To honor God for this gift, Solomon built a beautiful temple—a house of worship for the people—so that everyone would know that God was the God of Israel.

Story:

Do you remember David?  He was the boy who God chose to be the next King?  Where was David when Samuel came to find him?  In the fields with his family’s sheep.  David was a shepherd.

Shepherds are the caretakers of the sheep.  In Israel, the land was dry, but there was water running through the land.  It was very important that the shepherd find water for his sheep.  The sheep would drink the water and eat the grass that grew nearby.  David took care of his sheep.

Shepherds were the protectors of the sheep.  In Israel, there were wild animals who would try to catch the sheep for food.  The animal would watch to see if even one sheep wandered away and then attack.  David watched his sheep carefully and would even kill the wild animals who attacked his sheep.

David was not only a shepherd, but he was also a musician.  God helped David make up songs.  Songs about life, songs about nature, songs about God.  God gave David a special song about how God is like a good shepherd.  He takes care of his sheep and protects his sheep.  God loves his sheep and will always look after them, just like God loves his people, and always will.
