“These six were born unto him in Hebron; and there he reigned seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years.”
1 Chronicles 3:4 KJV
David had these six sons while he was in Hebron; he was king there for seven years and six months. He went on to be king in Jerusalem for another thirty-three years. When David became king in Hebron, it was the tribe of Judah and of Benjamin that made him to be king. But it was seven years later that the other ten tribes invited David to be king over all the twelve tribes of Israel. David was a man after God’s own heart who knew the power of worshipping YHWH in every circumstance. Which is why David never allowed his personal ambition to stop him obeying and wholeheartedly following God. Even when he sinned, he was quick to repent. God honoured David by the coming Messiah to be from the house of David. The prophecy was fulfilled, “And has raised up a horn of salvation for us In the house of His servant David”. Let’s be humble to receive prophecies spoken over our lives and also to prophesy over others as the Holy Spirit gives utterance, to build up the Body of Christ and let the Church be victorious in these end times, seeking His Kingdom and His righteousness. Amen!
