David's Last Words

The words at the beginning of 2 Samuel 23 are among the last words of David, the sweet psalmist of Israel. In them he does not conceal the fact that all has not gone well with his own family (v5). We can think of Absalom and Adonijah in this respect. But David has very clear vision as he ends his days on earth. He shows us, in many ways, how we should want to finish our days. These words are again something of his legacy to us all. In fact, his thoughts go beyond his life and look to the Lord Jesus Christ, His coming and His rule.
