David's two wilderness exiles and that whole story has been shaped from a perspective from centuries later about people reflecting the authors of these stories. So it's more that the David story in Samuel is a narrative form of projecting into the future what the future David story will be like. And as you go on into the Psalms scroll, I think that becomes more clear.
David’s life gives us two parallel portrayals of what it means to be God’s anointed one: one is victorious—God’s anointed is the giant feller and the snake crusher. The other one is a suffering servant, waiting patiently in the wilderness for God’s deliverance. In today’s episode, join Tim and Jon in the Psalms, where they’ll explore both David’s victory and his suffering and discuss how Jesus saw himself living out both those roles too.
