David was blessed to be in the lineage of the Messiah (Acts 13:19-23). He ascended to the throne after the reign of Saul because he was a man after God’s own heart. How, though, was David a man after God’s own heart? While there may be multiple ways we can see this, one example is found in 2 Samuel 1 when David learned of the death of Saul, his enemy, and how he genuinely grieved over it. This lesson explores David’s love and compassion for the man who made his life miserable.
