PROTECTING THE LINE OF DAVID
Throughout the reign of the Davidic dynasty, God faithfully preserved the promises he had made to David. Adonijah, Solomon’s older brother, vied to sit on the throne of his father David. As Bathsheba pointed out, had Adonijah gained the throne, she and Solomon would have been counted as criminals (v. 21). God’s promises, however, were stronger than Adonijah’s schemes. The line of David would be carried on through Solomon, not Adonijah, because the Lord had appointed Solomon ruler over Israel and Judah. God’s faithfulness to protect the kingly line of David would usher in the birth of the King of kings, Jesus Christ, a descendant of David and the one to whom the promises pointed (Mt 1:1). Through Christ, the Davidic throne was perfectly established and was secured forever.
Jesus, your promises are always stronger than our schemes, and I praise you for this. Thank you for your miraculous faithfulness, which guarantees forever. Amen.
