David
Introduction
Israel’s greatest king, David, is esteemed in Scripture as a great ruler, warrior, poet and musician, and most of all, as a man after God’s own heart.
Subsequent kings in Israel are compared, either favourably or unfavourably, with David.
Most significantly, David is the prototype of the ideal coming king—the Messiah.
God’s promise to David of a perpetual line (2 Sam.
7) becomes in the royal psalms and the prophets the expectation of an ideal king from David’s line.
The NT sees in Jesus Christ, the son of David, the fulfilment of these hopes.
(See Kingdom of God.)
The David narratives in Samuel
The rise of David
The drama and detail of the David story in 1 and 2 Samuel make it a literary masterpiece, one of the finest extended narratives of the ancient world.
The twin themes which permeate the account of David’s rise are God’s favour and David’s sincere and passionate heart for God.
When Samuel is directed to Jesse’s home to anoint the new king of Israel, it is the youngest and least significant of eight brothers who is chosen.
Samuel is informed that while ‘man looks at the outward appearance, the Lord looks at the heart’ (1 Sam.
16:7, niv ).
God’s gracious choice is confirmed by the sincerity of David’s heart.
David’s rise is counterbalanced by the decline of Saul, whose self-centred jealousy is in contrast to David’s trust and patient waiting on the Lord.
From his anointing onwards, David’s star rises while Saul’s falls.
David’s defeat of Goliath and his subsequent victories bring public acclaim, provoking jealousy and rage in Saul, who repeatedly attempts to kill David (1 Sam.
17–19).
In contrast the fugitive David, though the rightful king, repeatedly refuses to harm the Lord’s anointed (2 Sam.
24:6).
David’s patient waiting on the Lord receives its reward following Saul’s suicide after being wounded in battle (1 Sam.
31).
Even here David demonstrates his respect for the office of king, first, by executing an Amalekite for his presumption in killing the Lord’s anointed (2 Sam.
1:1–16), and secondly, by composing a stirring lament in honour of the heroism of Saul and Jonathan (2 Sam.
1:17–27).
Following the death of Saul, David is anointed king over Judah and reigns in Hebron for seven and a half years.
War ensues between Judah and Israel, pitting David’s forces against those of Saul’s son Ishbosheth.
After David’s forces prevail and Ishbosheth is assassinated by conspirators, the elders of Israel anoint David as king (2 Sam.
2–5).
For thirty-three years David reigns over a united kingdom, giving him a reign of forty years in all.
David’s rise to power is summed up in 2 Samuel 5:10; he was successful because ‘the Lord God of hosts was with him’.
