David’s experiences are recorded for the instruction of the people of God in these last days. In his warfare against Satan, this servant of God had received light and direction from heaven, but, because the conflict was long continued, and because the question of his receiving the throne was unsettled, he became weary and discouraged (The Signs of the Times, November 9, 1888).{2BC 1022.6}

Davids erfaringer står nedskrevet for at undervise Guds folk i disse sidste dage. I sin krig imod Satan, havde Gud fået lys og anvisninger fra himlen, men, fordi konflikten varede så længe, og fordi spørgsmålet om at få tronen var uafklaret, blev han træt og modløs (ST, 9. nov, 1888).
