David himself, after he is resurrected from the dead, will rule over the tribes of Israel in the coming new world under Christ (see Ezekiel 37). Jesus, through his mother Mary, not only traces his bloodline back to the second king of Israel, he will also assume his throne at his Second Coming (Luke 1:32 - 33). God's proving and refining of his character before he began to reign led to him being faithful to the Eternal all the days of his life. Though he continued to have many trials during his lifetime, King David became the greatest ruler of Israel! He governed over God's people for forty years, from 1010 to 970 B.C., then died at the age of seventy. God eventually concluded that He should not have chosen Saul to be ruler over his people because he was not obedient to his commands. He was almost continually taunted and harassed by Saul.

God tested David during the fifteen years between the time of his anointing and him officially assuming the reigns of power. And it came to pass as they came in, he (Samuel the prophet) saw Eliab (firstborn son of Jesse) and said, "Surely the Lord's anointed is before the LORD." But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look on his face, nor on his height because I have refused him, for the LORD does not see as man sees for man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart" (1Samuel 16:6 - 7, HBFV)
