His people Israel’s sake. The Lord blessed David because of his own faithfulness and fidelity. He also blessed him because of His purpose to make the Hebrew people a spiritual kingdom upon earth. In taking over the aggressive leadership of the chosen people, David was working in harmony with the purposes of Heaven. Such a program always brings success and blessing.
