crissy464 Posted June 29, 2023 Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 Priest of divine, speaking also as a prophet. Son of Jesse. A humble shepherd, qualified to be a king. Pleasant, sweet,lovely. God of Jacob is our stronghold = means He is God of his people God used David as a prophet to flesh out many of his promised in the writings of the Psalms there would be more honesty, love and concern for the people, they would be seeking direction from God.

Irmela Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 Q2. (2 Samuel 23:1-7) How does David describe himself in verse 1? In what sense was David a prophet? What is the main message of verses 3-7? How can this psalm guide government officials and elected leaders in our day? He describes himself as the son of Jesse, exalted by God Most High and anointed by the God of Jacob. He does not forget that even in his exalted station in life, he is "Israel's singer of songs". An oracle is used if and when it is a divine utterance. So David would utter prophecies he heard from God . David praises God for having chosen him as king and has graciously chosen to make a Covenant with him, that ultimately will mean that the Messiah, the Son of David will rule forever. Reign righteously. Fear God. Thorns, which cannot be touched with the bare hands, meaning a government that cannot be approached, that shows no mercy. It ought not to be like that.
