Biographical Overview
The book’s final section focuses on the personalities of Saul and David.
Although Saul is king until the end of the book, the story turns to his successor’s rise.
David’s story is told from the viewpoint of Saul’s continued failures.
Saul’s reign was chaotic, marred by personal problems and the threat of Philistine oppression.
While it became clearer that Saul was unfit for leadership, David emerged before the nation as God’s champion to defeat the Philistines and rule the land.

David
Leadership Defined
Leadership is influencing people by providing purpose, direction, and motivation while operating to accomplish the mission and improving the organization.
FM 6-22
As we move forward we will see the attributes and characteristics of a strong leader.
In these very scriptures are the standards for leadership as developed by God.

David
1 Samuel 16:1
Your first blank is:
God chooses who he wants.
1 sAM 16:
Samuel was being led by God
notice again that David was first chosen, then anointed and from then on guided by the Spirit of God
He was anointed before he was appointed
Your second blank is:
God sees deeper than we can see.
1 Sam 16:14-18
Saul’s underlying issue
What kind of Spirit tormented Saul?
Saul was possessed and it took music to control it.
Remember, this was before Jesus came and we had the authority to cast out these demons.
Since the Lord rejected Saul as king, He withdrew His Spirit; and Saul received an “evil spirit.”
The identity of this “evil” spirit has been disputed.
Some believe that it was a demon.
Others argue that it was a troubling spirit causing emotional disturbance (see Judg. 9:23).
Some have suggested that the Lord permitted Satan to afflict Saul as punishment for his sin (see 2 Sam.
24:1 with 1 Chr.
21:1).
What is clear is that this spirit was sent by the Lord (see 1 Kgs.
22:20–23) to show that Saul had been rejected.
It caused Saul to experience bouts of rage and despondency.
Christians do not have to fear that the Lord will remove His Spirit from them, since the Spirit is the believer’s permanent possession
David’s characteristics are the character traits shared by all of our greatest leaders

David served under the King before becoming King
David served with loyalty and he was motivated to serve
God even used the madness of King Saul to help train the Shepard boy
You must learn to follow before you can lead.
1 Sam 17:1-
Goliath’s Height
6’9” to 9’9”
Goliath is emblematic of the obstacles and troubles we face in life
Your final blank is:
Don’t see your Goliath as a challenge, see it as an opportunity.
1 Sam 17:26-30
David recognizes the opportunity
Give example of Elijah using opportunity so God could shine
Conclusion:
As I close, the key factors that were established here are:
Finding Favor in God
Developing the Character and Qualities of a leader
Serving - Sit at the feet of the elders while getting that battlefield experience
There must be a purpose, direction, motivation, and a mission.
Davids’ purpose was To fulfill the destiny that YHWH had set for him by becoming leader of the Israelites.
David's direction came from his knowledge, through experience of what God can do, his motivation was his faith and confidence that God would fight the battle, and his mission was to defend the name of the Lord.
David had respect for those in authority even though he was destined to be King.
Although David had all of the physical characteristics we expect to see in a leader, he still depended on God, trusted in God, and walked in the will of God.
The leader-servent attributes of David aught to be true of us as well.
Why?
These are the attributes God wishes to develop in each of our lives.
As you look at the life you are living can you see the qualities that marked David’s life in your own?
If you see room for improvement, I challenge you to come before the Lord and ask him to work on you.
God is in the business of building Kings and leaders.
We are in the battle of our lives in today’s time and we have to defend the name of God and stand up for our faith in this day where God is being taken out of everything.
Where we are willing to stand up for a flag but won’t stand up for God.
That flag can’t give and sustain life and as a matter of fact, to be brutally honest, a lot of atrocities were perpetrated under that flag, but nothing but good can come from God.

We are all soldiers in the Army of the Lord and we must prepare for battle by becoming skillful leaders, just as David was.
