David reigned as king of Israel about a thousand years before Christ’s incarnation.  During the time of Christ’s earthly ministry, David was revered by the Jewish people.  He’s still revered today by Jews, Christians, and many others.  The biblical accounts of David’s early life, his willingness to trust the Lord in the midst of impossible odds, his divinely ordained rise to power, his musical and poetic gifts, and the fact that the Holy Spirit inspired David to write the majority of the Psalms are highly impressive.

 David was also a wise and powerful leader.  His leadership decisions and the victories he was blessed with remain legendary to this day.  Many Jews considered him the pinnacle of human leadership and they longed to be led by such a king again one day.

 At one point during David’s reign, the Lord revealed to Nathan the prophet that a descendent would come from David whose throne would be established forever.  This was a prophetic reference to the Messiah, and ever since the days when this prophecy was given, the Jewish people have looked forward to the Messiah’s appearing.
