Our text today falls into two parallel structures Saul and the fall of the kingdom of God at Mount Gilboa (ch 10) David and the greatness of the kingdom of God in Jerusalem (ch 11).
Chapter 10 moves from the disintegration of Israel in the death of Saul to the honor of the valiant men of Jabesh-Gilead, to the reason for Saul's death – found in his breach of faith. Chapter 11 moves from the reintegration of Israel in the anointing of David, to the honor of Joab in his service to David, to the reason for David's greatness: “the LORD of hosts was with him.â€
The message is clear: if your king breaks faith with the LORD, then you are doomed; if the LORD of hosts is with your king, then you will live.
This is why you need king Jesus – because he is the king who lives forever at the right hand of God!
