Who is This King of Glory?

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 24:1-10. Psalm 24 is a Psalm of David. David declares the earth and those who dwell in it is the LORD’S. God created the earth and every living creature that dwells on the earth.

David asks, “Who will ascend to the hill of the LORD and stand in His holy place?” David says it will be He who has clean hands and a pure heart and doesn’t speak vainly or lie. He will receive the blessing from the LORD and righteousness from the God of His salvation. Could David be talking about Jesus? He ascended to heaven and He will return one day and stand on the holy hill of the LORD.

David cries out, “Lift up your heads and the King of glory will come in!” David asks several times who this King of glory is. Notice the replies. The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle, the LORD of hosts, He is the King of glory! Do you know this LORD?

Psalm 24:1-10

1 [[A Psalm of David.]] The earth is the LORD’S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?
4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.
7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
8 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.

The Book of Psalms: Part 1 Chapters 1-30

by Deborah H. Bateman

About the book:

The Book of Psalms: Part 1 Chapters 1-30 by Deborah H. Bateman is part of the Daily Bible Reading Series. The book of Psalms contains 150 chapters. Deborah divided The Book of Psalms into five books to make it easier to read and study. Each book will contain approximately thirty chapters from the book of Psalms.

Psalm 119 will not be included in The Book of Psalms since Deborah has already published a book about it called: Psalm 119: Thy Word is a Lamp unto My Feet. The book of Psalms is one of Deborah’s favorite books of the Bible. It is a great book to read if you’re ever feeling down or need to renew your relationship with Christ. King David went through a lot of tough times in his lifetime, but he loved God and trusted God to protect him from the enemies.

The book of Psalms was written by various people. About half of it was attributed to King David, whether they were written by David or for David is questioned by some biblical scholars. Some of the Psalms were written by Asaph and some say they were written for the sons of Korah and even Moses and Solomon were writers of the Psalms. The Psalms consists of poetry that was primarily meant to be used as songs of praise to the Lord.

The Book of Psalms Part 1 Chapters 1-30 contains thirty-one Daily Bible Reading Lessons. Each lesson contains a brief commentary by the author, the Daily Bible Reading Scriptures, a few questions for contemplation or discussion, and a prayer of the day. It is a great Bible study for individuals or groups.

David Becomes King of Israel

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from 2 Samuel 5:1-10. All the tribes of Israel came to Hebron to see David. They acknowledged David as their flesh and bone. They also acknowledge him for his leadership even when Saul was king.

The elders of Israel anointed David as king over Israel. David was thirty years old when he began to reign over Israel. He reigned as king for a total of forty years. He reigned over Judah seven years and six months in Hebron. He reigned over Judah and Israel for thirty three years in Jerusalem.

David and his men went to Jerusalem, but the Jebusites, who were the inhabitants of Jerusalem, gave them a hard time. They told David and his men they could only come in if they took away the blind and lame.

David and his men took the stronghold and told them that whoever conquered the Jebusites along with the lame and blind would become the captain.

David and his men established Jerusalem as the city of David, which they built from Millo inward. David grew to be a great king. The LORD was with him and blessed him.

One day the King of Kings and Lord of Lords will reign over Jerusalem.

Daily Bible Reading:

2 Samuel 5:1-10

1 Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron, and spake, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.
2 Also in time past, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be a captain over Israel.
3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a league with them in Hebron before the LORD: and they anointed David king over Israel.
4 David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.
5 In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over all Israel and Judah.
6 And the king and his men went to Jerusalem unto the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land: which spake unto David, saying, Except thou take away the blind and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither: thinking, David cannot come in hither.
7 Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same is the city of David.
8 And David said on that day, Whosoever getteth up to the gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind, that are hated of David’s soul, he shall be chief and captain. Wherefore they said, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.
9 So David dwelt in the fort, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from Millo and inward.
10 And David went on, and grew great, and the LORD God of hosts was with him.

Things to think about:

Who anointed David as king of Israel?

Who rebelled against David at Jerusalem?

How did David establish his kingdom in Jerusalem?

Who is the coming king who will establish His kingdom in Jerusalem?

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

As we read this Scripture in 2 Samuel about David’s reign as king over Israel and Judah. We see that there was some resistance to him setting up his kingdom in Jerusalem. We see that he succeeded and You blessed him as the king of Israel. Help us to stay faithful to You as we wait for the coming king. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
