About this Bible story
In 1 Samuel 16:23, we learn about David's gift of music. When Saul was troubled, 'David would take up his lyre and play.' His music brought comfort to the king, showing how God can use our talents to help others.
“David would take up his lyre and play.”
How to Use These Coloring Pages
While the kids color, ask them how David's music might have made Saul feel. Highlight the moment in 1 Samuel 16:23 when David's harp playing brought peace. Ensure each child has crayons ready, and consider playing soft music in the background to set the atmosphere.
