The answer is: One of David's daughters would be the first queen of Israel

2 Sam 7:12-15; 1 Chr 17:10-14

King David is one of the most celebrated figures in the Bible, whole chapters dedicated to his adventures and his relationships with God. Not only was he a warrior, poet, and king, but he was also a multifaceted character whose life sometimes reflects our own struggles—his highs and lows are almost Shakespearean.

In the biblical narrative, God made significant promises to David, particularly found in 2 Samuel 7 and 1 Chronicles 17. The promise of a lasting dynasty is noteworthy. God makes it clear that David’s descendants would sit on the throne forever. This was no mere royal sentimentalism; it set the stage for the future narratives we read in the messianic prophecies – a line that leads to enthusiasts speculating about "everlasting thrones."

However, the idea that one of David's daughters would be the first queen of Israel isn’t included in those promises—maybe because the cultural backdrop of the time didn’t support female monarchs in the direct lineage. Interestingly, while ancient societies so often marginalized women, this story photo-frames those who bravely stepped outside conventional roles, like Debra, the female judge of Israel.

This also connects to broader themes across the scriptures highlighting an exceptional relationship with God—where personal covenants and national promises intertwine, creating a storyline that echoes throughout both the Old and New Testaments. David's experiences resonate much deeper when you realize that God works through unconventional and surprising ways!
