2 Samuel 5: ? David Anointed ?, 40-Year Reign Forever - a podcast by KFUO Radio

Rev. Brady Finnern, pastor of Messiah Lutheran Church in Sartell, Minnesota, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study 2 Samuel 5.

“King David made a covenant with them at Hebron before the LORD, and they anointed David king over Israel.” Third time’s the charm? David’s first two anointments were disappointing: after the first he became an exile, and after the second, he found out that Ish-bosheth had already been installed as king over the North. This time in chapter 5 however, the circle widens from Bethlehem to Judah to all Israel, and the king of Tyre builds David a palace. God does indeed bless those who do His will with success, but not always immediately or in the ways we define “success.” David’s reign foreshadows Jesus Christ’s, who reigns not for forty years but forever.
