- This article aimed to explain how important a Christian understanding of the Messiah based on the Davidic covenant. This article used a method of descriptive analysis to explore related texts about the Davidic covenant and its relations, both in the Old and New Testament. The conclusion is, the text 2 Samuel 7 convincingly shapes the Christian understanding of the Messiah. Theologically, this text is important because the theme of sonship placed right at the center of the chapter. Moreover, this relationship of father to son has crucially important messianic associations, for the notion of sonship is not only played out in the life of David and his immediate progeny, but also in the New Testament in relation to King David’s greater Son, Jesus Christ, and with God’s sons and daughters who are in solidarity with Him.
