ACTS 13:22 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.”
After removing Saul, he made David their king. He testified concerning him: 'I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart' — the transition from Saul to David (1 Samuel 16) marks God's election of a king aligned with the divine heart (kardia). The quotation (Psalm 89:20; 1 Samuel 13:14) emphasizes that David's kingship rests on God's initiative and David's spiritual consonance with God's will, not military prowess alone.
