When we think of covenants in the Bible, it’s easy to picture the familiar scenes - Noah standing under a rainbow, a vivid promise painted across the sky; Moses atop Mount Sinai, receiving divine words etched in stone tablets amidst thunder and smoke. These are the classic highlights we often focus on. 

But what if I told you that one of the most transformative and usually overlooked covenants involves an ordinary shepherd-turned-king named David? While it might not be as instantly recognizable as a rainbow or as dramatic as fire descending on a mountain, it carries a weight that shapes the entire story of redemption. 

I assure you, once we deeply understand what is the Davidic covenant, we’ll also understand why Jesus is called the “Son of David”, why He’s hailed as the King of Kings, and why His reign is described as everlasting. It’s in this covenant that we can see God strengthening His promises, not only to Israel but to all of creation. 

This being said, we’re ready to dive into all the details of David’s story, but not before doing a quick recap of all the 7 Covenants of the Bible.
