In this episode, within conspiracies and stratagems, we will learn who succeeded David and deal with this critical question: who should have been David’s successor?
Hello everyone, and welcome back to a brand new episode of The Bible You Thought You Knew.
In the previous episode, we talked about how the Lord called David to be Israel’s King and Saul’s successor. In this episode, the narration is in 1 Kings 1. At this point, David is too feeble to run his kingdom. He seems to be spending all his time in bed trying to get warm, creating a vacuum.
Adonijah, David’s elder son, saw the situation and decided to take the bull by the horns.
In this episode, within conspiracies and stratagems, we will learn who succeeded David and deal with this critical question: who should have been David’s successor?
Tune in now and get those and more answers!
