David gives a final charge to Solomon, taking care of loose ends. Solomon comes into his own by taking care of snakes.
Today's Scripture: 2 Samuel 23:1-7; 1Kings 2:1-12; I Chronicles 29:29-30; II Chronicles 1:1; Psalm 2; I Kings 2:13-35, 36-46; Psalm 120, Ps 121.
Cold and out of the mainstream in his old age, King David gets help from Abishag, Bathsheba, and Nathan. Solomon takes his place on the throne.
David is very old but still finds comfort in the Lord, even as people around him look to take advantage.
Psalm 86; I Kings 1:1-31, 32-53; Psalm 65
