In the book of 2 Samuel, chapter 23, it starts with a brief speech by David. This speech brings one great comfort, and speaks of how a leader must lead: in the fear and awe of God. David speaks of God's word on his tongue, and when he rules in the name of God it is like the morning light at dawn, the sun shining on a cloudless morning, and rain causing the grass to grow.
All things with God, one prospers.
Men who are not worthy are like thorns.
Afterward, there are thirty-plus men who are named for their heroic deeds. And their deeds were only accomplished by worshiping and believing in God.
There is an interesting passage that one who leads should study: 2 Samuel, chapter 23, verses 15-17. David and his men have just fought a long battle and he said that he would like water from the well of Bethlehem near the gate. Three of his men broke through the enemy's camp, drew water from the well, and brought it to him. David was devastated when he heard this and poured it out in the name of the Lord, for he should not drink when lives were risked.
