2 Samuel 5:4 David was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned forty years: in Hebron he was king over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he was king thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.

Samuel picked two kings: First Saul he was weak, disobedient and only cared about his image, second David "man after God's own heart." I'm not saying David is perfect because he made mistakes. The difference between the both of them, David learned from his mistakes, Saul preferred to keep his image. Teaching us the definition of a good king. In reality no one is perfect, just like a marriage what doesn’t bother you won’t kill you. In result, Saul was a weak king, David was strong and brave. David had the qualities of being a good king. Not only did he show kindness to everyone, he brought the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem. A good king puts God first in his kingdom. A good president has “God’s own heart”, overcomes obstacles, fears God and has self-discipline.
