Right. Well, what happens, you know, is it looks like Saul is going to be the king. And you have to remember, clear back in Genesis chapter 12, this seems like a long time ago now, doesn't it? Yeah. Where God promised three things. He said, you're going to receive land, there's going to be a royal dynasty, and there's going to be worldwide blessing.

Well, we're at the point now where they're in the land, first promise, check, but now there's going to be a royal dynasty that it's going to be created, and it looks like it could be Saul. But it's not, because Saul was disobedient a couple of times to the Lord, and it was literally ripped from him and given to this young David from Bethlehem.

And the next key point in our reading here is going to be 2 Samuel 7. Because 2 Samuel 7 is where God is going to make a covenant with David. And David comes to the Lord and says, hey, you've been traveling around in this tent all this time. I want to make you a permanent, beautiful structure. And it's almost humorous how God says, did I say I wasn't doing okay in the tent?

Did I ask you to build this structure? And God says something interesting to David. He says, I'm going to make your name great. which is a way in Hebrew of saying, I'm starting a royal dynasty. And you know, Father, who ends up on that seat of David later on. Right, right. Jesus. Jesus.

I should fill it in. That look in your eyes.

Right. It's exactly right. And it's such a good question because it's something that we receive a lot. And that is, wait a minute, wait, whoa, whoa, whoa. Didn't we read this before? Yeah, you did, but it was a different version of it. Here's the easy way to remember it. You have 1 and 2 Samuel and the first part of 1 Kings as the narrative of the United Kingdom.

At the end of the United Kingdom, you're going to be taking readers through the divided kingdom. That's going to take place, that's the Black Period, where you're going to have a country called Israel to the north and Judah down in Jerusalem to the south. David will always be linked to the south in Jerusalem, to Judah.

So if you're going to read Chronicles, along with 1 and 2 Samuel and Kings, you have to understand that it is a revisiting of history, but it focuses on the southern kingdom of Judah, the kingdom that Jesus is going to be coming from, and the Chronicler has a way of telling all of the really good stuff about David and the king.
