Davidic Covenant: God's Covenant With David

​Timeline 1000 B.C.
​
David was the young shepherd
who was also a musician and is known for defeating and killing Goliath, the large enemy fighter of the Philistines that others were afraid to approach.

David was described as a man after God's own Heart. 1 Samuel 13:14, Acts 13:22.

David was close to King Saul and his son Jonathan, however as David increased in popularity, Saul became threatened and jealous of him and tried to kill him. Despite the soured relationship with Saul, David retained close friendship to Saul's son Jonathan.

God made a covenant
with David in Second Samuel delivered by Nathan the prophet that his throne would be everlasting.

12 And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 He shall build an house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever. 14I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men: 15 But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee. 16 And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever. 17 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David. 2 Samuel 12-17.

The covenant made through David continued the covenant made beginning with Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, and finally through Jesus Christ. The future descendant of David would be Jesus Christ, and therefore the promise to David includes the Messianic prophecy.

The covenant was an everlasting covenant. Despite the future conquest of Israel by adjacent nations, the throne would never be taken away in spirit and the throne was always available to be re-established through obedience to God. The throne would be reestablished if the people would be obedient to God and follow his laws. Despite the control of the land being taken away and the people being scattered, the people of Israel were never completely destroyed and the covenant was available to be re-established through obedience.
