The book of II Samuel calls David the sweet psalmist of Israel (II Samuel 23:1), and yet the same book tells us that God prohibited him from building the temple (II Samuel 7:1-11), because as we will learn later, he was a man of war (I Chronicles 22:8). We often do not think of army commanders as gifted composers, but such was the case with David. All too often the battles of life rob us of our song. David, however, who had slain his thousands, never let the song go out of his heart. Indeed, many of David’s greatest psalms were written during times of conflict. We trust that you will learn more about this mighty conqueror and gifted composer as you study his life in II Samuel.
