David anoints Solomon as King over his older brother. Solomon kills his brother for asking for a bride, but I am not sure I understand why. This reading shows Solomon solidifying his position as king.
I am glad to be reading the psalms again. I feel like I am connecting more with them this time than the first time. My morning has started out a little rough and as I was reading this stood out to me, "Be angry, and do not sin; ponder in your own hearts on your beds, and be silent. Offer right sacrifices, and put your trust in the Lord." When we are struggling and become angry we tend to lash out in a way that is not with God, so this was a good reminder to stop and continue my time in his Word so that I can place my trust in him and that he will handle with difficulties I am facing today.

This is about Solomon taking over as king. In this passage it references some things that people did to David and that they are being punished for it, but I don't recall some of these things.
I read this psalm like 5 times and still didn't get anything today. I am stuck in my sickness though and trying to take my mind off of it but it's not working too well.
