Students/Parents

This first video connects with "We Want A King" (pages 21-2).

 

The videos above for children, might also be a quick way to view the summary of King David, one of the most notable kings in the Bible.  Another fun option is the Veggie Tales version of King David - "King George and the Rubber Ducky."
