Da Gud hadde avsatt ham, satte Han David som konge over dem. Gud sa om David: ‘ Jeg har funnet David, sønnen til Isai, han er en mann med et hjerte slik Jeg vil ha det. Han skal gjøre all Min vilje. ’ Gud hadde lovet kong David at en av hans etterkommere skulle bli den Frelseren folket hadde ventet på. Det er dette som nå har blitt virkelighet, Jesus er den som frelser.
What Does This Mean?
