Document Summary

David is the model messiah for the jews. He completes joshua"s conquest, there are no more enemies because he destroyed them all. David captures jerusalem, which was a canaanite city: lets the people stay, but were 2nd class to the israelites, jerusalem (canaanite name) becomes the city of david becomes the capitol. David in his rise to power, married for diplomatic reasons, having many wives having many sons, so his successor was left up for grabs. You have to be possessed by the spirit of god. Solomon is the youngest, he becomes the successor: the brothers tried to get a jump on the successor-ship, and all 3 failed. They all died: nathan (the new prophet) anoints solomon. Mosaic covenant: ten commandments are the heart of it: this is the basis of their law, and basis of the jewish torah. Nathan drafts a new supplemental covenant, that is attached to the mosaic. Jerusalem, will always be the city of god.
