In <a href="/2_samuel/7-12.htm">2 Samuel 7:12-16</a>, God promises David that his house and kingdom will endure forever. This covenant is central to the understanding of Israel's history and the expectation of a Messiah from David's line. David is often referred to as a "servant" of God, indicating his role as a chosen leader who sought to fulfill God's purposes. The plea here is based on the faithfulness of God to His promises, invoking the memory of David's devotion and God's commitment to him.<p><b>do not reject Your anointed one</b><br>The term "anointed one" refers to a king or leader chosen by God, often through the ritual of anointing with oil, symbolizing the Holy Spirit's empowerment. In the context of the Davidic covenant, this phrase can refer to the kings of Judah who were David's descendants, and ultimately to the Messiah, Jesus Christ, who is the ultimate fulfillment of the anointed king. The plea not to reject the anointed one is a request for God to remain faithful to His promises despite the failures of David's descendants. This connects to the broader biblical theme of God's faithfulness and the hope for a perfect king, fulfilled in Jesus, who is often referred to as the "Son of David" in the New Testament (e.g., <a href="/matthew/1.htm">Matthew 1:1</a>). The rejection of the anointed one would imply a breach in the divine promise, which is why the psalmist appeals to God's covenantal loyalty.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>The second king of Israel, a man after God's own heart, and the servant mentioned in this verse.

In the original (<a href="/2_chronicles/6-42.htm" title="O LORD God, turn not away the face of your anointed: remember the mercies of David your servant.">2Chronicles 6:42</a>) it is of course Solomon who prays for himself; here (see <span class= "ital">Introduction</span>) we must naturally think of one of the Asmonean princes. The expression "to turn away the face," of a suppliant, instead of "turning from him," is borrowed from court etiquette.
