And then, Psalm 78 tells us that God came to their rescue, established sanctuary and remedied their sin. But because of their sinfulness in the days of the judges, God was angered and delivered them into the hands of their enemies.
For instance, Psalm 78, verses 67-72, makes it clear that the placement of David on the throne was of major significance in God’s redemptive purpose and was essential to the establishment of godly rule in Israel. This passage offers one of the most significant moments in God’s dealing with His people under the Old Covenant, because the establishment of the house of David is an integral part in God’s master plan to crush the head of the serpent. Let me set the context of this great passage. “And your house and your kingdom shall endure before Me forever your throne shall be established forever.” ‘” In accordance with all these words and all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.” Thus ends God’s word. “I will be a father to him and he will be a son to Me when he commits iniquity, I will correct him with the rod of men and the strokes of the sons of men, but My loving kindness shall not depart from him, as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from before you. “He shall build a house for My name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. “When your days are complete and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up your descendant after you, who will come forth from you, and I will establish his kingdom. The LORD also declares to you that the LORD will make a house for you. “I will also appoint a place for My people Israel and will plant them, that they may live in their own place and not be disturbed again, nor will the wicked afflict them any more as formerly, even from the day that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel and I will give you rest from all your enemies. “And I have been with you wherever you have gone and have cut off all your enemies from before you and I will make you a great name, like the names of the great men who are on the earth. “Wherever I have gone with all the sons of Israel, did I speak a word with one of the tribes of Israel, which I commanded to shepherd My people Israel, saying, ‘Why have you not built Me a house of cedar?'” ‘ “Now therefore, thus you shall say to My servant David, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts,” I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, that you should be ruler over My people Israel. Now it came about when the king lived in his house, and the LORD had given him rest on every side from all his enemies, that the king said to Nathan the prophet, “See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells within tent curtains.” And Nathan said to the king, “Go, do all that is in your mind, for the LORD is with you.” But it came about in the same night that the word of the LORD came to Nathan, saying, “Go and say to My servant David, ‘Thus says the LORD,” Are you the one who should build Me a house to dwell in? “For I have not dwelt in a house since the day I brought up the sons of Israel from Egypt, even to this day but I have been moving about in a tent, even in a tabernacle. To understand this, we will first look at II Samuel 7 and then I would like to set the context for this Davidic Covenant. That principle holds true for both the Old and the New Covenant eras. When the king sits on his throne, the kingdom has come. Robertson says that the climax of the Old Covenant is found in the coming of the kingdom in David’s day. We are going to rapidly overview to the Davidic Covenant and especially the establishment of the house of David in II Samuel 7 If you have your Bibles, I would invite you to turn with me to 2 Samuel 7.
