故事(15分钟)

请孩子们围坐在你身边，准备听故事。每部分介绍后，直接从圣经中朗读下面的章节。建议使用儿童圣经，以便孩子们更容易理解。

第一部分介绍：

小时候，大卫是一名牧羊人，他的工作是照顾家中的羊群。有一天，先知撒母耳来到大卫家，膏立他为未来的以色列王，但这个应许不会立即实现。当时，扫罗仍然是王，还不是大卫接替王位的时候。与此同时，扫罗王让大卫在宫中服侍他 - 他既上战场作战，又为扫罗弹琴。可是，扫罗王在许多事情上不顺服神，神对他不再喜悦，也不希望他继续作王。现在，到了大卫登基的时候了。让我们一起读圣经，看看接下来发生了什么。

读 撒母耳记下 5:1-5 （大卫作王）

讨论问题：

以色列的所有支派都来找大卫了吗，还是只有一部分？（所有支派）
作为王，大卫不再牧养羊群，他现在牧养和治理谁呢？（人民）
大卫多少岁登基成为以色列王？（30岁）
你觉得百姓拥立大卫为王时的庆祝场面是怎样的？（请孩子们自由回答）

第二部分介绍：

大卫登基后不久，他决定将一件极其珍贵的宝物——神的约柜 带回大卫城（也就是耶路撒冷）。约柜是用金子包裹的，其中放着刻有十诫的石板，以及以色列人在旷野中吃的吗哪。迎接约柜回城让大卫王无比喜乐。让我们来看看，当大卫带着约柜进入大卫城时，发生了什么。

（在读故事前，先告诉孩子们，"以弗得" 是一种无袖的细麻衣服，可以参考之前使用的涂色页。）

读 撒母耳记下 6:12-19 （大卫因喜乐跳舞）

讨论问题：

抬着约柜的人走了六步后，大卫做了什么？（献上公牛和肥羊作为祭物）
大卫王用什么样的方式全心全意地敬拜神？（在主面前跳舞）
大卫王穿着什么？（以弗得）
当约柜进入城里时，还能听到什么声音？（欢呼声和号角声）
扫罗的女儿看到大卫在主前做了什么？（又跳跃又舞蹈）
你认为大卫带着约柜回城时的心情如何？（充满喜乐和激动）
大卫非常喜乐地服事神，我们能否无论做什么工作都充满喜乐？为什么？（是的，因为主与我们同在）

BIBLE VERSE (7 minutes)

"I will praise the Lord all my life." Psalm 146:2a NIV

Talk about the different ways we can praise the Lord. Some examples may be dancing, singing, playing music, bowing down, jumping up and down, and shouting. Have the children share which ways they like best. Then have them repeat the verse several more times while doing some of these things.

BIBLE STORY (15 minutes)

Gather the children around you in preparation for story time. After each introduction, read the below passages directly from the Bible. If possible, use a Children's Bible so it will be easier for the kids to understand.

Introduction (Part 1):

When David was a young boy, he was a shepherd. It was his job to take care of the sheep belonging to his family. One day, the prophet Samuel came to David's house. He anointed David to become a king someday for all of Israel, but not right away. Saul was still the king at this time. It was not yet time for David to take over the job of king. Meanwhile, King Saul let David work for him by fighting battles and playing the harp. During this time, King Saul did not obey God in many ways. God was not pleased with Saul, and did not want him as King anymore. Now, it is time for David to take over as King. Let's read about what happed from the Bible.

Read 2 Samuel 5:1-5 (David Becomes King)

Discussion Questions:

1. Did all of the tribes of Israel come to David or just some of them? (All of them.)

2. Instead of sheep, what would David shepherd and rule over as the new king? (People.)

3. How old was David when he became king of Israel? (30 years old.)

4. What do you imagine the celebration was like when the people crowned David as their new King? (Allow for answers.)

Introduction (Part 2):

Shortly after David became King, he set out to bring a precious treasure back to the City of David, known also as Jerusalem. It was the ark of God, and covered in gold. Inside were some treasures, like the stones containing the Ten Commandments and some of the manna God's people ate while wondering in the desert. Bringing the ark of God back to the City of David made King David very happy. Let's read about what happened as David entered the city with the ark of God.(Before reading the story, let the children know that an ephod is a sleeveless, pullover garment made of fine linen. You may also want to refer to the coloring page used earlier as an example.)

Read 2 Samuel 6:12-19 (David Dances for Joy)

Discussion Questions:

1. What happened after the people carrying the ark of God took six steps? (David sacrificed a bull and a fattened calf)

2. What did King David do with all his might? (Danced before the Lord.)

3. What was King David wearing? (An ephod.)

4. What else could be heard as the ark of God arrived into the city? (Shouts and trumpets.)

5. What did the daughter of Saul see David doing before the Lord? (Leaping and dancing.)

6. How would you describe how David felt as he brought back the ark of God? (Full of joy and excitement.)

7. David enjoyed his job as King and was full of joy and excitement. Can we be full of joy and excitement no matter kind of job we have? Why? (Yes, because the Lord is with us.)
