Ho hated It It slippod away from under his llttlo foot; ho could not run on It with any comfort Ho spent his days Idly in his master's tout or royally perchod on a camol, crouching closo to Sabron's man servant when they went on caravan explorations.

Sabron added mentally: " whorover it may happen to bo!" Ho ordorod bakshish given to the man and sent him off. Then ho opened tho French mall. Ho was not moro than threo hundred miles from Algiers.

(1) David's Kingdom, ch. 2:13. it Is now seven or eight yearB since Samuel anointed the young shepherd to be king In Saul's place. David was prob ably twenty-nine years of ago. He had now a fourfold nssurnnco of his throno (a) God's decree (I Sam. 16: 11-13); (b) Tlie death of Saul (ch. 1: 4); (c) God's command (v. 1), and (d) Tho choice of tho peoplo (v. 4). His every stop seems to have been led of God, therefore he had mado no false moves (James 1:5-7, see also Pa. 19:13, 14). How God by means of the etones In the priest's breastplate made known his will wo are not told and it Is ldlo to speculate. We have a bet ter way, the inspired word and tho living spirit through which wo may receive guidance. Such guidance la conditioned upon obcdlenco (I Snm. 28:6; Acta 5:32). God directed David, after Saul's death to "go up" to Heb ron, which menns "fellowship." It wnB hero that Abraham, the man of faith, had lived. David thus began his conquest of the land In fellowship with God. David Implicitly obeyed God's decree (v. 2), took his fnmlly with him and also brought his men with their households. This Is n sug gestion relative to household folIow shlp with God. They left nothing bo hind to lure them back aH Lot was lured when he loft Sodom.

It was good politics for David to honor theso men of Jabesh, yet ho was hon est nnd sincere for ho honored Saul ns his rightful and God-anointed sov ereign (I Sam. 24:4-8; 26:7-11). These men had shown kindness to Saul and now Jehovah would show klndnesB to them (v. 6). Ab wo bow we reap (Matt. 5:7; 0:14, 15; II Tlm. 1:1G-18).

As contrasted with this God-directed kingdom of David's wns the man-direct-ed kingdom of Ish-bosheth. His nnme means, "name of shame." He was about forty years of age, Saul's oldest son, but not his Intended successor. Ish-bosheth was: (a) selected by man (v. 8); (b) ruled by mnn (v. 9) and (c) mado war upon God's elect (x. 17, ch. 3:1). Ho only reigned two years and hlB kingdom In the northern part of the land was soparated from that of David by that portion In tho center controlled by tho PhlllBtlnes.

David passed through Boven nnd one half yoars of delay In his progress towards tho throno. It wns not long nfter Ish-bosheth's death that a great assembly mot at Hebron. It was a truly natlonnl gathering. Every tribo sent Boldlera 280,000 In all nnd the elders of tho peoplo wore tho spokes men. Thoy proclaimed David "bono of their bono" (v. 1) nnd thnt oven whilo Saul wns king, David had been tholr real shepherd (v. 12). But better still, they recognized David ns God's chosen successor to Saul and pro claimed to nil men that they had loy ally accepted his choice. The story of David's conquest of Jerusalem and tho establishment of the seat of his government at that place Is Interesting and suggestive and should be studied before next Sun day's lesson Is considered. After being anointed In Hebron David began at once to subdue tholand. Thus we see the loose tribal gov ernment molded Into a powerful, domi nant and respected kingdom. David was (1) Patient, awaiting God's tlmo; (2) Energetic; (3) Courageous; (4) Tactful; (5) Trusting; (6) Loyal, to friends and to God; (7) Patriotic; (8) Obedient, nnd nbovo all, (9) Religious, for we read, "the Lord Is with him" (I Sam. 16:18), and, "David waxed greater and greater; for tho Lord, tho God of hosts, was with him" (II Sam. 5:10).
