These 2 books focus on God establishing David as king with the promise that a greater King would follow David and set up his eternal Kingdom. This theme and God’s guidance and care over his people are seen throughout the book. The writer with great excitement unfolds God’s plan as David learns to trust God and shows that he was a man after God’s own heart who had a passion to worship and glorify God. The writer also shows David as a great sinner, yet forgiven, and used of God even through the consequences of David’s failures. The books point forward to the coming Christ who is promised in the covenant God made with David.
