You came to my mind today. At "KevRow University Live" I first heard "That's My King" and wandered back over to your posts on KZbin. The Matthew 6 Lords prayer with Mr. S.M. Lockridge is a comfort me. Thank you,Sir.

Solomon died when he was 63, David at 73 As a 50 year old man this has some weight

[@roysamuel5511]

David at 73 and Solomon 63 , any proof please

[@jeetime9436]

Great question. first and foremost, I wasnt there but here is what I got. In 1 Kings 2:10-11, it states: “Then David rested with his ancestors and was buried in the City of David. He had reigned forty years over Israel-seven years in Hebron and thirty-three in Jerusalem.” Although this passage doesn’t explicitly mention his exact age at the time of death, it reveals that David ruled for 40 years in total, including his time as king in Hebron and later in Jerusalem. To determine King David’s age at death, turn to 2 Samuel 5:4-5, where we learn that David was 30 years old when he became king in Hebron. Combining these verses, we can estimate that David was approximately 70 years old when he died. He ascended to the throne at 30 and ruled for 40 years-7 in Hebron over the tribe of Judah and 33 in Jerusalem, where he unified all twelve tribes of Israel.@@roysamuel5511

Solomon became King about when he was 23 years old and reigned for 40 years putting him at 63. The whole point of the matter was relating to both men mostly to King Solomon who I am clearly not as wise as but understand his regret of wasted pursuits. Pursuits of seeking pleasure and not the joy of wholesome and pure things. Things like the laughter of children, sitting quietly with my wife, encouraging more, criticizing less, being kind especially when I dont have to be, being more patient with others, and much more. I hope this finds you well, but I feel there is no answer that I can give you that will be sufficient. Good Travels to you. @roysamuel5511 @@roysamuel5511
