| Genesis 49:8-12 Sceptre is ruling. Shiloh is Messiah |
8 Judah, thee shall thy brethren praise: Thy hand shall be on the neck of thine enemies; Thy father’s sons shall bow down before thee. 9 Judah is a lion’s whelp; From the prey, my son, thou art gone up: He stooped down, he couched as a lion, And as a lioness; who shall rouse him up? 10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, Nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, Until Shiloh come; And unto him shall the obedience of the peoples be. 11 Binding his foal unto the vine, And his ass’s colt unto the choice vine; He hath washed his garments in wine, And his vesture in the blood of grapes: 12 His eyes shall be red with wine, And his teeth white with milk. |
| 1 Samuel 13:7-14 Kingdom shall not continue for Saul |
7 Now some of the Hebrews had gone over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; but as for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling. 8 And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel had appointed: but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him. 9 And Saul said, Bring hither the burnt-offering to me, and the peace-offerings. And he offered the burnt-offering. 10 And it came to pass that, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt-offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him. 11 And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou camest not within the days appointed, and that the Philistines assembled themselves together at Michmash; 12 therefore said I, Now will the Philistines come down upon me to Gilgal, and I have not entreated the favor of Jehovah: I forced myself therefore, and offered the burnt-offering. 13 And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly; thou hast not kept the commandment of Jehovah thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would Jehovah have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever. 14 But now thy kingdom shall not continue: Jehovah hath sought him a man after his own heart, and Jehovah hath appointed him to be prince over his people, because thou hast not kept that which Jehovah commanded thee. |
| 1 Samuel 28:3-25 |
Perhaps many people, that include this author when first becoming a new Christian, have initially harbored some resentments against King David in the scriptures because of the:
by a man who had lavish wealth and a harem, which indicates acting on lustful and selfish carnality at the expense of others even unto their death.
Reading the scriptures will lead us to greater discoveries about King David's life that while it was tarnished, with consequences, but God's Glory through King David was accomplished in marvelous ways that redeems King David in our viewpoints that also is inspiration for all of us as we are all sinners that need Jesus Christ for Salvation.
If the scriptures were a collection of myths then there would not be any of the principle characters in the history that commit and participate in horrible sins, and then having the person also be chosen by God to do wonderful things in their life as one of God's representatives.
The entirety of the scriptures does contain examples of many people who failed, suffered consequences, and then repented with trust in God for correction. King David is one of the greatest examples in the scriptures for us to learn from his mistakes and triumphs. All of us, from the littlest of sins, have tarnished lives that God's work in us will accomplish God's Goals when we have Faith in Him and humble ourselves to the moment by moment goals presented to us for God's Glory, along with our glory because of God Only, as we are Ambassadors for God.
Back in the early 1980s this author was listening to a old recording from Emil Gaverluk, while driving into work, that resonated in my memory on a comment that Emil made about King David. Emil said that he had a hard time not being very disappointed with King David because of the actions with Bathsheba and Uriah until Email said that he got a thought in answer to a prayer.
The prayer was asking God to help in understanding why King David could do the evil things he did, and why it was allowed to happen along being recorded in the scriptures. Emil said a thought came into his mind as if someone was shouting the words to him in a loving way, and Emil knew it was an answer from God through the Holy Spirit! The thought was "King David is idiomatic of Israel!" Emil, in the recording, said from that point on he loved reading about King David along with scriptures written by King David, and this author does also.
Since that time of hearing what Emil Gaverluk stated about the idiom of King David, this author hasn't heard this from this any other Biblical Scholar where I believe Emil did find an accurate idiom model as God uses encryptions, patterns, models, a heptadic structure and Gematria throughout the entire Bible to confirm the scriptures have origins as outside of our time domain by God who exists in Eternity.
Israel had the times of loving their God for the delivery of slavery, conquering most of the Promise Land areas, conquering of adversaries, and then the spiritual adultery at times when they allowed foreign fake gods into Israel. All of us have potentially had times we offended God also and then renewed ourselves.
God created Adam, also Eve later, and it wasn't until the breath of Life entered Adam for Adam to be alive. Adam was a minor model of Jesus Christ for these two reasons:
David was a shepherd before eventually becoming King where David became the shepherd of the people. David was a minor model also of Jesus Christ.
The position of being a shepherd is and should be like a father of a family and also a person managing a company that takes care of the employees. David learned a great deal as being a shepherd that prepared him for his future accomplishments that required trust and faith in God. David faced very fierce adversaries in his role as a shepherd.
| 1 Samuel 17:34-36 David is speaking |
34 I work as a shepherd for my father. Whenever a lion or a bear has come and attacked one of my lambs, 35 I have gone after it and struck it down to rescue the lamb from the predator’s mouth; if it turned to attack me, I would take it by the chin, beat it, and kill it. 36 I have killed both a lion and a bear; and as your servant I will kill this uncircumcised Philistine, too, since he has dared to taunt the armies of the living God. |
Jesus Christ is the Great Shepherd. David will become a shepherd once again during the Millennial Kingdom which is discussed later in this topic.
| Isaiah 40:11 Messianic Prophecy |
He will feed His fold like a shepherd; He will gather together His lambs—the weak and the wobbly ones—into His arms. He will carry them close to His bosom, and tenderly lead like a shepherd the mother of her lambs. |
| John 10:11 Points to Crucifixion |
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep in His care. |
Jesus Christ has many Titles, where one that is often referenced in the scriptures is Jesus Christ is the Second Adam. This has more wonderful consequences than we know that primarily mean that God is in the process restoring all things as they should have been before the sins of Lucifer with Adam and Eve. The future will have David and all of us to live in our full potential. We should be building our future roles now for the rewards in Heaven.
| 1 Corinthians 15:47-49 | 47 The first man, Adam, came from the earth and was made from dust; the second man, Jesus, has come from heaven. 48 The earth man shares his earth nature with all those made of earth; likewise the heavenly man shares His heavenly nature with all those made of heaven. 49 Just as we have carried the image of the earth man in our bodies, we will also carry the image of the heavenly man in our new bodies at the resurrection. |
Probably one of the most widely known scriptural references by everyone in the world is the history of David meeting the Giant Goliath in battle where David was representing the entirety of Israel, and Goliath was representing the Philistines. David was most likely around 18 to 19 years old and was interestingly not required to be in the army as his three of his seven brothers. David was the youngest of his father Jesse's eight children.
King Saul, in other scriptural references, had several military victories before the Goliath event. Since the beginning of the two armies meeting without any contact, Goliath on a daily basis challenged Israel and specifically King Saul, for a "winner of a single person battle" will determine the winner of the war. King Saul was sitting in his tent afraid without committing, which a form of blasphemy against God. Prior to this meeting the Philistines, King Saul was known for his valor and his own fighting abilities.
David, at this point in his life, was well skilled in the use of a rock sling as it was a required weapon of a herdsman to protect the heard of sheep and goats from predators. The scriptures record David as killing many formidable predators.
During a food delivery for his father Jessie, where David's brothers were part of King Saul's close companions, David went into the King's tent to question and get permission to represent the King in battle after hearing no one would face Goliath, as read in Samuel 20:31-40. King Saul gave David his blessing in battle and additionally gave David his own armor.
| Notes on Goliath and excerpts from the
Nephilim topic:
Goliath had four other brothers that were also as large as Goliath and were Rephaim, as Goliath was a descendent of the Nephilim. There were several tribes in the Promise Land that Joshua did not conquer, as read in the Book of Joshua, or was tricked into a peace treaty with the Gibeonites during the conquering of almost all of the Promise Lands that God had instructed Joshua to eliminate. Some of these tribes had been infiltrated by Nephilim by Fallen Angels that then had several generations of Rephaim. Recall that as Moses sent the ten spies into the Promise Land, Numbers 13:33-34, that eight of the ten spies came back with a bad report saying we are like grasshoppers in their eyes because of the height of some of the Nephilim that were encountered.

When David faced Goliath, the verbal exchange is very important as Goliath, not knowingly, prophesied his own fate because of blasphemy of God as a Rephaim would:
| Samuel 20:45-50 | 45 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a javelin: but I come to thee in the name of Jehovah of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. 46 This day will Jehovah deliver thee into my hand; and I will smite thee, and take thy head from off thee; and I will give the dead bodies of the host of the Philistines this day unto the birds of the heavens, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel, 47 and that all this assembly may know that Jehovah saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is Jehovah’s, and he will give you into our hand. 48 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hastened, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. 49 And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead; and the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell upon his face to the earth. 50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David. |
David killed Goliath with a single blow from a rock that "broke
his skull".
|
There is an interesting note that most likely passed the significance to many Christians on David cutting off the head of Goliath and taking it Jerusalem. The location that the head of Goliath was kept in Jerusalem later because known as the "Place of the Skull" where it had to be done by Levitical Law away from anything clean along with being away from anyone becoming unclean by touching it. The location is also known as Golgotha and Calvary where Jesus Christ's Crucifixion was conducted.
| 1 Samuel 17:54 | David got Goliath's head and took it to Jerusalem, but he kept Goliath's weapons in his own tent. |
There is so many amazing double patterns in the scriptures, where the significance of Golgotha is Goliath represented the epitome of evil as a Rephaim, and Jesus Christ victory of the crucifixion had the part that Jesus Christ descended into Sheol:
To proclaim his victory to the Fallen Angels that participated in the creation of the Nephilim that were imprisoned there in Lower Sheol (2 Peter 2:4-5).
| 2 Peter 2:4-5 |
4 For if God spared not angels when they sinned,
but cast them down to Tartarus, and committed them to chains of
darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 5
and spared not the ancient world,
but preserved Noah with seven others,
a preacher of righteousness, when he brought a flood upon the world of
the ungodly; Note: Tartarus is inferred in the scriptures to be a compartment of Lower Sheol. |
Other interesting facts from the scriptures concerning Goliath:

There are so many beautiful, thought provoking, liberating, inspiring verses here in the first few chapters of Genesis which almost jumps off of the page requiring examination where the writer had to restrain himself to stay on topic while writing.

Tamar was first the wife of Judah's oldest son that was struck down by God
for sins. Tamar was given to Judah's second son who is also the wife of
his deceased son where she was expected by the Levirate marriage law to be
provided by offspring by someone who was related to her husband. Tamar was
granted the Levirate Marriage right by Judah for his two first two sons that
died where the third son was to young to be given Tamar as a wife. Tamar
was promised the third son when he got old but it was never given to her, so she
dressed up as a prostitute on a side of a road during celebration time of
harvest and tricked Judah into coming into her tent with darkness and veils.
| Deuteronomy 25:5-10 | 5 “When brothers live together and one of them dies and has no son, the wife of the deceased shall not be married outside the family to a strange man. Her husband’s brother shall go in to her and take her to himself as wife and perform the duty of a husband’s brother to her. 6 “It shall be that the firstborn whom she bears shall assume the name of his dead brother, so that his name will not be blotted out from Israel. 7 “But if the man does not desire to take his brother’s wife, then his brother’s wife shall go up to the gate to the elders and say, ‘My husband’s brother refuses to establish a name for his brother in Israel; he is not willing to perform the duty of a husband’s brother to me.’ 8 “Then the elders of his city shall summon him and speak to him. And if he persists and says, ‘I do not desire to take her,’ 9 then his brother’s wife shall come to him in the sight of the elders, and pull his sandal off his foot and spit in his face; and she shall declare, ‘Thus it is done to the man who does not build up his brother’s house.’ 10 “In Israel his name shall be called, ‘The house of him whose sandal is removed.’ |
This Levirate law was also questioned to Jesus Christ by the Sadducees when trying to trick Jesus Christ. Note that the Sadducees did not necessarily believe in the resurrection of all humans to one of the two Judgments.
| Matthew 22:23-33 |
23 On that day there came to him Sadducees, they
that say that there is no resurrection: and they asked him, 24
saying, Teacher, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his
brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
25 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the
first married and deceased, and having no seed left his wife unto his
brother; 26i n like manner the second also,
and the third, unto the seventh. 27 And
after them all, the woman died. 28 In the
resurrection therefore whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they
all had her. 29 But Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as angels in heaven. 31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, 32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. 33And when the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching. |
The Levitate Marriage law is also what occurre
| The following are partial extracts from the
Tenth Man topic The Tenth Man probation from entering the Congregation was a law written in Deuteronomy 25:5-10. It did not mean the people affected by it were not Saved or loved by God Notice in Ruth 4:12, there is a salutation of blessing for wishes of the future success is given by wishing blessing like the house of Pharez. We learn from the Scriptures that Pharez is the 10th Generation grandfather of the future King David. The problem with King David's lineage, is Pharez is a son conceived in an illegitimate way by Judah. Judah is part of the royal blood line and so is King David. In Deuteronomy 23:2, an illegitimate man cannot enter the Congregation of the Lord until 10 generations have transpired.

Note that King David already knew Bathsheba before the noted scriptural incidence because of King David's commander ... who was Bathsheba's grandfather. This is why ... conspired against David with Absalom.
Absalom
| Ezekiel 37:24 | 24 My servant David will be king over them, and they will all have one shepherd; and they will walk in My ordinances and keep My statutes and observe them. 25 They will live on the land that I gave to Jacob My servant, in which your fathers lived; and they will live on it, they, and their sons and their sons sons, forever; and David My servant will be their prince forever. 26 I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant with them. And I will place them and multiply them, and will set My sanctuary in their midst forever. 27 My dwelling place also will be with them; and I will be their God, and they will be My people. 28 And the nations will know that I am the Lord who sanctifies Israel, when My sanctuary is in their midst forever. |

What to read next?
Read about the Garden of Eden. What is Salvation? Is it possible to lose Salvation? We have eternal life. Evolution is not real. When a Christian suffers is there benefits from it. Rewards in heaven. Do we Tithe? What does the 3rd Commandment tell us? What is Grace and Mercy? Is there an Age of Accountability? Is there a place of unending punishment and exile form God?
