What was God's covenant with King David?
God made a covenant with King David promising that through David would come a royal family bloodline, and through that royal family would come the King of Israel. This covenant established David's line as the lineage for Israel's future King, later traced through Solomon and Nathan.
Les teaches that around 1000 BC, about 500 years after the law, David appears as another great patriarch. To David, God makes another covenant: through David would be a royal family bloodline, and through this royal family would come the King of Israel. The genealogies coming out of David include Solomon and Nathan, the two sons of David and Bathsheba. This covenant established David's line as the royal lineage for Israel's King.
