ATTRIBUTES OF DAVID IN ISAIAH: THE HOUSE OF DAVID
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Attributes Of David In Isaiah
a) Although David's name is written only ten times in all the book of Isaiah, his memory was highly honored in Isaiah’s time. King David had established the throne in Jerusalem almost three centuries earlier. He was the patriarch and hero of Jerusalem’s royal family.
b) Here is one of the seven attributes of David mentioned in Isaiah, and what it signifies for us.
2. The House Of David
Isaiah 7:2, 13
2 When it was reported to the house of David, saying, “The Arameans have camped in Ephraim,” his heart and the hearts of his people shook as the trees of the forest shake with the wind.
13 Then he said, “Listen now, O house of David! Is it too slight a thing for you to try the patience of men, that you will try the patience of my God as well?
a) In Isaiah's time, the royal family of Jerusalem was known as "the house of David" because it descended from King David who had established the throne in Jerusalem almost three centuries earlier.
b) At David’s death, his son Solomon had become king. However Solomon, whose name is not written at all in Isaiah, had sinned against God. Therefore Solomon’s son Rehoboam was allowed to be king only of Judah and the little tribe of Benjamin attached to it. All the other ten tribes of Israel became a second and separate kingdom. A new throne, a new royal family, and a new capital city was established to the north in Samaria. As for Judah, the royal house of David continued to reign in Jerusalem, the "city of David" (1 Kings 11:26-40).
c) Isaiah was a prophet in Judah during the reign of kings Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah (2 Chronicles chapters 26-32). Except for Ahaz, these were good kings in Judah, after the heart of David their ancestor.
d) Isaiah is aware that the Messiah (Christ) will be born in the house or lineage of David. Isaiah says that Christ comes from "the root of Jesse" (Isaiah 11:1-5). Jesse was David’s father (Ruth 4:13-22).
