David’s leadership begins with humility, patience, and obedience. After years of waiting, he is finally anointed king over all Israel. He establishes Jerusalem as his capital by conquering the seemingly invincible Jebusites, demonstrating God’s favor and his own strategic wisdom. Yet his leadership is tested when he attempts to bring the ark to Jerusalem without following God’s precise commands. Uzzah’s death reveals the seriousness of honoring God’s Word. David learns from this and later corrects his approach, leading a joyful and reverent celebration. The lesson emphasizes that true leadership submits to God’s timing, obeys His Word, and worships Him publicly and passionately.
