More about these Bible coloring pages

Last Tuesday afternoon, my kids and I gathered around the kitchen table to color. My 7-year-old was particularly excited about the David Becomes King Samuel Anoints David coloring page for kids. The page shows Samuel pouring oil over David's head, capturing the moment when God chose David as king. As we colored, I reminded them of the verse, 'They anointed David king over Israel' (2 Samuel 5:3). It was a great opportunity to discuss God's choices and how He sees our hearts. We also enjoyed talking about how David was just a shepherd boy before becoming king. These pages are fun and educational, making them perfect for our circle time or Sunday school classes.
