David was a great king as well as an outstanding servant of the Lord, who fought God’s battles and gained the material for the building of God’s dwelling place; God Himself says that he was “a man after My own heart” (Acts 13:22). Yet even so, he also had serious failures, for which he suffered very much, and often had difficulty discerning the Lord’s desire.
