In the life of David, we get a portrait of a true worshiper, a man "after God's heart." In this teaching, we look at the very dark period in the nation of Israel during the transition from Judges to Kings to set a context for our study of David's life as a worshipper. We look at the story of Hannah and the call of Samuel, the treatment of the Ark of the Covenant by both Israel and the pagan nations, and the reasons for Saul's rejection. I Samuel 1-15.
