More about these Bible coloring pages

“Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him” (1 Samuel 16:13). My son loves coloring, especially when it connects to our Bible lessons. The six images in this David Anointed King coloring page are perfect for kids; they can color Samuel pouring oil over David, a proud sheep, and even a golden crown. Last week, I printed them out for our homeschool group, and the kids were so excited! They each grabbed their favorite crayons and got to work, chatting about how David became king. These pages not only help reinforce the story but also spark questions about leadership and faith. I noticed my daughter, who’s 9, was particularly drawn to the image of the crown and asked what it meant to be a king. This led to a great discussion about responsibility! I highly recommend using these pages during your next church class or at home. They’re a wonderful way to make Bible stories come alive.
