When the life of the greatest recorded servant in the Bible ended--what was left behind? Our legacy is what we leave behind to those we love. What did David God's servant leave behind? Humanly speaking, David probably left behind the greatest fortune ever amassed by any one man on planet earth!   

How Much Did David, God's Servant,  

Really Have?

If you dig into the commodities market you'll find the following facts in the endless tables of records kept in the precious metals archives. In all the history of the world to 1835 there was at the most a total of 20 thousand tons of gold ever produced. In David's day three thousand years ago there was no more than ten thousand tons of gold on the planet. So at the very least-David held at the end of his life half or more of all the wealth on his planet!  

David's gold was worth over 89 billion dollars in today's commodity markets. But in his day his wealth exceeded half of all the monetary gold valued wealth of the entire world. Some economists say that the sum total of all monetary wealth in the world is in the realm of 250 trillion dollars (that is loans, stocks, bonds, deposits, etc.). So by comparison in the world today--David would be worth over $125 trillion dollars! Now that is wealthy.  

David had wealth that is staggering and even hard for us to even believe. Yet NO ONE ever thinks of him as wealthy until after they study that part of his life. 

So David is someone we will meet in Heaven. Because who will be in Heaven? God's Servants. And what do God's servants do with their treasures? Just like David--they give them back to God.
