1 Chronicles 11:10-47

DAVID’S MIGHTY WARRIORS

Keywords 11:10

These were the chiefs of David's mighty men--they, together with all Israel, gave his kingship strong support to extend it over the whole land, as the LORD had promised-

 

1. The kingdom is extended (10-14)

How can the kingdom of God be extended in our generation? It happens by the

power of God working in the lives of people wholly dedicated to the Lord and

who claim His wonderful promises. Verse 10 says that Davids mighty warriors

supported Davids kingship and extended it to the whole land, as the LORD

had promised. Eleazar, one of the Three, was a great warrior. The Philistines had

gathered for battle near a barley field. Although the rest of the Israelites fled,

Eleazar offered his life to God. He stood and fought with David and the LORD

brought about a great victory through them.

 

2. Seek the Lord’s desire (15-47)

Three of Davids thirty chiefs overheard Davids desire for a refreshing drink of

water from a certain well near Bethlehem. So they broke through enemy lines,

drew water from the well, and brought it back to him out of deep love for their

king. David realized that he was not worthy of such a sacrifice. Only our Lord

Jesus Christ is worthy of our sacrifice and his desire is for the gospel to be spread

to all nations.

 

Prayer Lord, give us faith to live for your kingdom!

One Word Extend the kingdom of God!
