The Covenants Part 14: The David Covenant II
The Davidic Covenant in 2 Samuel 7 promised that the Lord would establish David’s throne forever. The covenant was designed to provide leadership for Israel that would enable them to take full possession of the land God had promised to them and for the king to be a godly example of obedience to God’s commands for the people to follow. The problem was that the story of the kings is largely one of failure, much like the larger story of Israel as the people of God.
