The coming king
Israel had rest from his surrounding enemies. David told Nathan the prophet that he noticed his cedar house compared to the ark's tent. Nathan told him to do what is in his heart for the LORD is with him.
Then Nathan told David what the LORD had told Nathan that same night: He has lived in a tent since Egypt and never asked for a house. He took David from the pasture, from following sheep, to be prince over Israel, and the LORD had been with him wherever he went and had cut off all his enemies. He will give David a great name like the great ones of the earth. And He will appoint a place for his people Israel so they may dwell and be disturbed no more. The LORD will make David a house. When he dies, He will establish the throne of his offspring forever. "I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son. When he commits iniquity, I will discipline him with the rod of men, with the stripes of the sons of men, but my steadfast love will not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away from before you."
Then David went in and sat before the LORD and asked who he is and what is his house, that he was brought thus far. He said there is no one like God and His people Israel. God redeems His people, makes Himself a name, and does great and awesome things for them. He established for Himself His people Israel to be His people forever. David asked the LORD to confirm forever the word He spoke. You are God, Your words are true, and if it please You, bless the house of your servant David so it may continue forever before You.
“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.”
(Revelation 22:16)
