A leader is someone who leads a group, organization, or country. I believe an effective leader is confident, unbiased, open to new ideas, and will be organized so they can run the group effectively. What good would a leader do if they’re always missing due dates, if they’re scared of people, or don’t know what they’re doing? You don’t want an unqualified leader because then we won’t be successful in whatever we decide to do this year. I am all of these qualities that make a great leader, plus I have some experience from NJHS.

Im very confident in what I do,

King David had sworn to Bathsheba, Solomon’s mother, that her son would be king following him. Solomon was a wise man. When the Lord came to Solomon and allowed him to ask whatever he wanted Solomon asked for more wisdom. “Give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may lead this people, for who is able to govern this great people of yours?” (2 Chronicles 1:10). Solomon ruled with greatness and that was evident in the cities he built, the number of followers he had. Another sign of his greatness was the fact that the queen of Sheba ventured to Jerusalem just so she could lean at his feet and gained wisdom.

The book of Lamentations is deconstructed by characteristics and contents. The two main characteristics of the book are the dirge rhythm and placement of certain stresses. The contents of Lamentations include Jerusalem (the abandoned widow), the punishment of Jerusalem, a personal lament, advice about God’s righteousness and mercy, a prayer for help, siege conditions, and the request of restoration. The next section in chapter nine is about the lives of the survivors. Some of the survivors remained in Judah, moved to egypt, and were held in captivity in Babylon. Those in Babylon began to use Aramaic, instead of Hebrew.

David is a prime example of one who uses directive leadership. He showed this when he decided that he wanted Bathsheba for himself even though she was married. On the eve of her husband?s death, David sent this message to his first in command Joab. ?Put Uriah in the front line where the fighting is fiercest. Then withdraw from him so he will be struck down and die,? 2 Samuel 11:14. He did this because he knew that he had the power and no one could stop him. To make this more ironic, the message was brought by Uriah, no knowing that would be his last day alive. This

The nation of Israel was set apart as holy to the LORD. But they When the children of Israel demanded a king, they did so to be like the other nations. The first three kings were Saul, (outwardly tall, handsome and strong—a seemingly good choice for a king, but inwardly arrogant, proud and unrepentant—not God’s choice), David (a man after God’s own heart who repented of his sins and as such was God’s choice), and Solomon (the wisest man who ever lived, but because of covenant disobedience became the catalyst for the division and ultimate exile of Israel.
