David, Nabal, and Abigail (K); Jonathan and David Promised to Be Friends (P)

Kids: David’s men had treated Nabal’s men with kindness. Later, Nabal refused to give food to David’s men. An angry David wanted to hurt Nabal, but Abigail intervened and prevented David’s rash actions. This session can lead kids to think about the different choices that each person made. We can talk about the consequences of the choices and help kids understand that how they choose to treat others will have consequences.

Preschool: David and Jonathan formed a strong friendship. Jonathan helped David, even when it upset his father, the king. This session will help kids think about how they could choose to be good friends to others, even in difficult times.
