"King David's Palace"
2 Samuel 5:4-12
David was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned forty years.
In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem
he reigned over all Israel and Judah thirty-three years.
The king and his men marched to Jerusalem to attack the Jebusites, who lived
there. The Jebusites said to David, "You will not get in here; even the blind and
the lame can ward you off." They thought, "David cannot get in here."
Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion, the City of David.
On that day, David said, "Anyone who conquers the Jebusites will have to use
the water shaft to reach those 'lame and blind' who are David's enemies." That
is why they say, "The 'blind and lame' will not enter the palace."
David then took up residence in the fortress and called it the City of David. He
built up the area around it, from the supporting terraces inward.
And he became more and more powerful, because the
LORD God Almighty was with him.
Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, along with cedar logs
and carpenters and stonemasons, and they built a palace for David.
And David knew that the LORD had established him as king over Israel and
had exalted his kingdom for the sake of his people Israel.

Paul French Song Title; King David's Palace
|
The City of David Jerusalem
|
This song’s theme is based on 2 Samuel, chapter five, when King David and his men marched to Jerusalem to attack the
Jebusites, who lived there and told David, "You will not get in here; even the blind and the lame can ward you off."
Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion, and took up residence in the fortress and called it the City of David.
He built up the area around it, from the supporting terraces inward. Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, along
with cedar logs and carpenters and stonemasons, and they built a palace for David. David knew that the LORD had
established him as king over Israel and had exalted his kingdom for the sake of his people Israel.
The festive sounds of the flute and violin in this tune, played together with upbeat piano solos and drum accents, tell the
story of what a celebration in King David’s palace could have been like. Certainly the instruments used and music back
then were more primitive, far less melodious and harmonic, but we can be certain they were great and joyous, as King
David celebrated before the LORD for giving him many victories! David was a righteous king, (although not without
fault) a man after God’s own heart, as well as an acclaimed warrior, musician and poet. He was the author of many of
the Psalms. (Psalm 23 for example)
