“David, king of Israel, was a man after God’s own heart….”

In Old Testament History: King David, Keith Echternacht traces the remarkable life of the shepherd boy who became Israel’s king. From defeating Goliath to establishing a united kingdom, David’s story reveals both his triumphs and his shortcomings—but above all, his steadfast heart toward God.

This episode highlights how David continually sought the Lord’s guidance in battle, humbled himself when confronted with sin, and rejoiced in God’s blessings through the psalms. With lessons from David’s victories, prayers, and repentance, we are encouraged to build our own close walk with God and to remain unshaken by life’s challenges.
