The "last words of David" are a song praising God for establishment of the house of David & the promises of God. What a wonderful completion of a life. For David, death isn't the end, but the fulfillment of an earthly purpose. Oh, to look back on one's life with satisfaction & to look forward with eagerness and joy.
Solomon is now made king. Remember, he has been serving as regent. During this time, both David and Solomon are kings. David, the king, teaching Solomon, the regent king, the ropes. Once again this is a time of looking ahead, a time of humbleness, a time of cooperation, a time of sharing. This is a true leader, a leader that we should aspire to be.
Whether we are leaders of countries, cities, or simply households. You may be a leader over many or just one. Regardless - humility, cooperation, peace and a total reliance on God are the marks of a good leader.
