Chapter 23 - David The King

(I have fallen behind on my reading and posting)

I am "enjoying" this chapter. I can relate the concepts of Father & Son and King and People to Christian meanings. YHWH & David and the YHWH & Solomon. Interesting to watch how the realities of life (politics - monarchy) interfere with the theology.

Love the physical temple versus temple in the hearts of the people discussion. God's people on the march versus Israel, the preservers of an immovable and changeless shrine. Is this modern Israel's current problem?

The house was wrong for David but it is in order for Solomon: theological shifts.

Good reading
