Reference: 2 Samuel 5:1-5, 2 Samuel 7, Luke 1
Story Summary:
After King Saul died, the people made a covenant with David to be their new king. Later, the prophet Nathan came to David with a message from the Lord. In the message, God reminded David how he had taken David from being a lowly shepherd to be the king of Israel. He reminded David that he had helped him win battles against all of his enemies.
God made a covenant with David. He promised to give David a famous name and his people a place to live. He promised peace and victory over their enemies. And he told David that his family would be on the throne forever.
God kept his promise by sending his Son, Jesus. Jesus was born to Mary, who was married to Joseph, one of David’s great-great-great-grandsons. The angel said that Jesus would be king like his grandfather David of long ago. And the Bible tells us that, after Jesus died and rose again, God gave him the name above all other names. At Jesus’ name, everyone who will ever live will bow down before him as king.
