Part Two Of “David the King” By Bishop Robert Barron

Was Saturday At St. Pius X Church

King David is described in the Hebrew Bible as the second king of the United Kingdom of Israel and Judah after Saul and Ish-bosheth.

In the biblical narrative, David is a young shepherd who first gains fame as a musician and later by killing Goliath. He becomes a favorite of King Saul and a close friend of Saul's son Jonathan. Worried that David is trying to take his throne, Saul turns on David. After Saul and Jonathan are killed in battle, David is anointed as King. David conquers Jerusalem, taking the Ark of the Covenant into the city, and establishing the kingdom founded by Saul.

In Part Three coming on Saturday February 9th at 10am, you will learn more King David and how Jesus fulfills the role as the New David with an everlasting kingdom. Light refreshments will be available!
