Impotence, Vitality and Succession

Talkin’ with God about Kings and Kingdoms
1Kings 1-2
One last look at David. He is old, cold and impotent - even with the most beautiful girl in the land spooning with him at night. This is not a good look, and not surprisingly another son makes a run at the crown. A blast from the past, Nathan and the Prophet and Bathsheba, wake David up from his impotency to pursue a proper succession to the crown. For the first time in a long time David seems like he has his mojo back, and for the first time ever, he actually acts like a father giving his son godly direction. David dies, and Solomon succeeds - but what does God have to say?
