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

The life of King David is fascinating, filled with triumphs, failures, and above all, a deepening relationship with God. It’s intriguing to think about the weight of the promises that God establishes. While we know from passages like 2 Samuel 7:12-15 and 1 Chronicles 17:10-14 that God promises David a lasting dynasty and divine favor through his lineage, the mention of a daughter becoming the first queen of Israel isn't part of those divine promises—primarily because Israel was more patriarchal at that time.

Did you know that David, before ascending to the throne, was chosen by God while he was just a shepherd boy? He was a talented musician—a factor that likely helped influence King Saul while David was in his service. Beyond just warrior and ruler, David was a poet too, and many express their emotional depth through the book of Psalms.

Another fun nugget is that when God promised David a “house,” it referred to a dynasty rather than a physical dwelling—a clever play on language! This means that even in David’s brokenness and sins, most notably with Bathsheba, God’s covenant with him reiterated the grace and steadfast love seen throughout the scriptures. The overarching theme here? God’s fidelity transcends human failure, paving the way for redemption. Isn't that a powerful message?
