2 Samuel 7
The Genealogy of Jesus in Matthew 1 begins the story of Jesus and begins the New Testament. The chapter begins this way: 1 The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
It’s as if to say if you don’t understand David and Abraham then you can’t understand Jesus. I think that is true. If you have been with us over the past several weeks this is what we have been trying to do – look through the Old Testament at the Sons of Scripture to better understand who Jesus is and what does knowing him or being in him really mean.
Today, we are going to be looking at the story of David, this very central and very important story in the Bible. If you do a word study or a name study in Scripture, the name David comes up more than any other name, even Jesus. David is the most commonly used name in all of Scripture.

Really it was lost in 586 BC when the Babylonians destroyed this palace that David had built and the temple that he wished he could have built. Your throne shall be established forever. ...
