Samuel Week 2: David, the Shepherd King and the Covenant That Changed History
Description
Why did God reject Saul and choose David? In Week 2 of our Samuel study, we move into one of Scripture’s greatest turning points: the rise of David and the covenant that reshaped biblical history.
We examine David’s anointing, David and Goliath, the wilderness years, covenant friendship with Jonathan, Jerusalem’s rise, and the Davidic Covenant in 2 Samuel 7—the promise that eventually points toward Jesus as the greater Son of David.
Topics include:
• David’s anointing at Bethlehem
• Shepherd theology in the Ancient Near East
• David versus Saul and covenant waiting
• Hesed (covenant loyalty)
• Jerusalem and Zion
• The Davidic Covenant
• Messianic hope in Psalms, Isaiah, Luke, and Acts
• Jesus as the greater Shepherd-King
Samuel begins as a story about Israel wanting a king, but it becomes a story about the coming King.
