David Battles with Ammon and Syria
There are several practical lessons here including doing good to those who have done good to you, avoiding shaming people publicly, and fighting the battle of this life with courage and complete trust in the work that the Lord will do for us.
David at the Height of his Reign
David is at the height of his reign with multiple victories on the field, and a great spiritual victory when he lifts the grandson of his enemy to a place of blessing and prominence.

David Made King Over Judah
God begins to fulfill His prophecy concerning David. But even now, David’s right to the entire kingdom is contested.
David as a Fugitive
David continues to be protected by the Lord. In some cases (as in the sparing of Saul), he acts in a most honorable way.
Nabal the Fool
The name Nabal means fool (see 1 Samuel 25:25). In scripture, a fool is much more than a degrading name you throw at someone you dislike.
David Respects the Lord’s Anointed
This lesson greatly illustrates a choice made by each person. Will they live their life by conviction or by convenience?
