Tonight, a brief note re
David & Solomon as Prophetic Types:
David
Warrior King, prevailing over seemingly invincible enemies, humiliation, evil & darkness,…
and
Poet of Worship & Priest-like King, and Prophet of the Messiah as Lord & Savior.
On David as priest-like king (or king who is priestly), recall the connection of 2 Samuel 6:14 & 1 Chron. 15:27 to 1 Samuel 2:18. [See Exodus 28:6-14.]
1 Sam. 2:18 - Samuel was ministering before the LORD, a boy clothed with a linen ephod.
2 Sam. 6:14 - And David danced before the LORD with all his might. And David was wearing a linen ephod.
1 Chronicles 15:27 - David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, as also were all the Levites who were carrying the ark, and the singers and Chenaniah the leader of the music of the singers. And David wore a linen ephod.
Solomon
Prince of Peace & Supremely Wise Judge drawing People from the End of the Earth; & Builder of the Temple.
_________________________________
God’s covenant promises to David (and to David’s Seed, Son & House) are central to the NT. For example:
Isaiah 55:1-5
Romans 1:1-4- Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, 2 which He promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, 3 concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh 4 and was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,…
Luke 1:32-33 - “He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”
Acts 15

Promises to Abram/Abraham => Fulfillment in David and/or Promises to David
- “kings” Genesis 17:6,16 => David & Sons
- “great nation” Genesis 12:2 => Israel under David & Solomon e.g., key juncture at 2 Samuel 7:1
- David brings the promised “place” & “rest”
- “great name” Promise to Abram in Genesis 12:2 => Promise to David in 2 Samuel 7:9
- Promises keyed to Abraham’s & then to David’s “seed” (e.g., Genesis 21:12, 2 Samuel 7:12-16)
- Abraham’s seed will possess gates of enemies Genesis 22:17 => (David will defeat enemies) God will give rest from enemies 2 Sam. 7:11
- Special personal relationship with Abraham & his seed e.g., Genesis 17:7-8, and with David & his seed 2 Samuel 7:24
- Conditions re obedience of son/seed Genesis 17:1,18:19 & 2 Samuel 7:14
