Quest for Refuge, p 165“I shall have a son born to me, and his name shall be David; and on him, in some future time, will rest the responsibility that now rests upon me. (Unpublished sermon of Brigham Young, 7 Oct. 1863, Young papers.)” – Marvin S. Hill
Words of Joseph Smith, p 331 “A murderer; for instance one that sheds innocent Blood Cannot have forgiveness, David sought repentance at the hand of God Carefully with tears, but he could ownly get it through Hell, he got a promise that his soul should not be left in Hell, Although David was a King he never did obtain the spirit & power of Elijah & the fulness of the Priesthood, & the priesthood that he received & the throne & kingdom of David is to be taken from him & given to another by the name of David in the last days, raised up out of his linage.” [sic]
Isaiah 55:3-5 “Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. 4 Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people. 5 Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.”
Well this obviously turned out to be another false prophecy courtesy of Joseph Smith. His son David who was born about four months after his death, ended up not following in his father’s footsteps and sadly spent a great deal of time (27 yrs) being confined in the Illinois Hospital for the Insane where he eventually died in 1904.
In a sermon Brigham Young gave in 1863 he alluded to the time Smith prophesied that Smith’s unborn son would rise up and take control over the kingdom of God. Part of what Smith said can be found in the Words of Joseph Smith mentioned above, but through heavy editing on the part of the Church the entire prophecy has been shrouded in secrecy.
Since the time of this first posting in 2014, the Church still hasn’t fixed their errors, or admitted to their wrongdoing.
Ask the Mormon you know what they think of this.

God called David ” A man after my own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.” (Acts 13:22).
David said to Goliath: “Thou comest at me with a sword and spear and a shield, , but come to me in the name of the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel,who thou hast defied.This day the Lord will deliver thee into my hand and I will smite thee and take thy head from thee.” (1 Samuel 17, 45,46)
David was a screw up from time to time, we all are (flesh vs spirit), but God really loved David (despite his shortcomings), because God knew, that despite it all, David loved God and was willing to do God’s will.
Read the Book of Psalms if you really want to understand the relationship between God and David. Ignore Brigham Young and any other church leader that describes, defines or interprets anything in anyway that is not in line with God’s Word (Bible)
