crown in 2 Samuel 12
KROWN
This thing shows up in 2 Samuel 12:30: “He took the crown of their king from off his head; and its weight was a talent of gold, and in it were precious stones; and it was set on…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
2 Samuel 12:30
“He took the crown of their king from off his head; and its weight was a talent of gold, and in it were precious stones; and it was set on David’s head. He brought a great quantity of plunder out of the city.”
What kids can learn
When you hear crown in 2 Samuel, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
Read 2 Samuel 12:30 again tomorrow and ask what the thing is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
