Perhaps many people, that include this author, have initially harbored some resentments against King David in the scriptures because of the two events of adultery with Bathsheba and murder of Bathsheba's husband Uriah the Hittite. 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.
If the scriptures were a collection of myths then there would not be any of the principle characters in the stories that commit and participate in horrible events while having the person also be chosen by God to do wonderful things in their life as God's representative.
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.
Back in the earlier 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 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 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. 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.
Since that time, this author hasn't heard this from this any other Biblical Scholar where I believe Emil did find an accurate model where God is using encryptions, patterns, models, a heptadic structure and Gematria throughout the entire Bible..

Future Role in the Millennial Kingdom
In Ezekiel 37:24-28, the scripture lets us know that King David will have a place and role in the 1000 Millennial Kingdom. He will be a prince over the nation of Israel, under Jesus Christ.
| 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.”’” |
| Acts 2:22-36 |
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?
