The way David became king was because God chose Him to do it. We never read anywhere that David had it in his heart to ask God to give him rulership.
It says that God "Chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds: from following the ewes great with young, He brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel His inheritance. So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart, and guided them by the skillfullness of his hands." Psalm 78:70-72.
Many want to ascend to the prominant heights of leadership in ministries and seek for it. However, in all Biblical examples, there is no record of any king, prophet, judge or disciple that served God, that ever prayed and asked for it.
Instead it was God that came to them the same as David. He chose him from following the most vulnerable. The position of protection.
There are qualifications. One of the primary ones is to follow the Lord without falling into the trap and snare of thoughts of becoming a leader. It does not work that way. True leadership is humble, faithful following the same way as David did. He never thought of it.
If you are following the Lord Jesus Christ, then you are taking the position of a true shepherd no matter man, woman, or child. It is the selfless life of love and care. If you cannot do these things, you will never be a God-chosen leader. True leaders are always and forever true followers which is a position of loving protection. Because they always follow the Chief Shepherd Jesus Christ.
Do not seek rulership. Seek instead to love, to support the weak, to kiss fevered brows, and to sing to the Lord.
“Maturity starts with the willingness to give oneself.”
― Elisabeth Elliot
