The Lord gave David victory wherever he went

2 Samuel 8:1-18
The Lord gave David victory wherever he went.
King David dedicated these articles to the Lord, as he had done with the silver and gold from all the nations he had subdued:  Edom and Moab, the Ammonites and the Philistines, and Amalek. He also dedicated the plunder taken from Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
 David reigned over all Israel, doing what was just and right for all his people. Joab son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;  Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelek son of Abiathar were priests; Seraiah was secretary;  Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Kerethites and Pelethites, and David’s sons were priests(royal advisers).
David's sons were priests: Although not from a priestly family, David was himself something of a priest-king, like Melchizedek, a much earlier king of Jerusalem.
Why?
The Lord blesses David and gave him victory wherever he went. So all enemies were subdued to David and sent tributes to David.
David got the victory and got a lot of plunder of gold and silver, but he dedicated these articles to the Lord, for David knew it is the power of the Lord made his victory. 
David was doing what was just and right for all his people. this is a nice leader before the Lord.  Not pursue our own profit but the other's profit and righteousness.
David makes his government management to each job position with the right man.
=====================================================
The Lord gave David victory wherever he went。God likes us getting better, but God did not caring what we do for the Lord, actually we can not do anything for the Lord. It is the Lord did it. Without we can do nothing.
人得勝時最容易忘記神,歸功給自己。完全都是神做的。因為對我們是要如何回應。奉獻給神以外的,不僅十一奉獻,剩下的也是神給的,我們也要按照神的心意來使用。
做一個王的謙卑是由大衛將戰利品全獻給神。
verse 6.14. 大衛打仗的結束經文,他的出色是出於神!打敗這麼多國家一定花費許多時間,精神,但是聖經不花太多文字來描述這些,一個人偉大的成就。是耶和華使他得勝。
再偉大的人,他們都有軟弱的地方。千萬不要把一個人當作完全。任何一個軟弱的人,都有神可以使用的地方。最重要是緊緊跟隨神!
=====================================================
How?
The right man is doing the right things, go with the Lord and alway inquire the way of the Lord is the right man.
