“I’m only king as God’s representative.”
David is the king of Israel now and it’s not such a smooth ride as he thought it would be. And in the middle of all his troubles, his sons are already looking to the future.
“You gotta do what I say cos one day I’m gonna be king.”
Dan knows from an early age that he will never be king, but he becomes more than an innocent bystander as he watches his brother’s power games; those games that eventually stop being just that – a game – and ultimately end in tragedy.
There can only be one king of Israel and when David’s gone, which son will replace him?
The Lord knows but does anyone else?
