David Becomes King over All Israel4. Jerusalem 10. David's Mighty Men And David The mention of "David" here refers to King David, one of the most significant figures in the Bible. Historically, David was the second king of Israel, succeeding Saul. His reign is often seen as a golden era for Israel, marked by military conquests and the establishment of Jerusalem as the political and spiritual center. The Hebrew name "David" means "beloved," reflecting his favored status by God and his people. David's life is a testament to God's grace, as he was chosen despite his humble beginnings as a shepherd. became greater and greater for the LORD of Hosts was with him Lord of hosts was with him.--The Lord of Hosts is doubtless a contracted form of the fuller expression, Lord God of Hosts, as it appears in Samuel. The Lord (or God) of Hosts is a title derived from God's supremacy over the host of heaven, i.e., the stars, worshipped as deities by the races environing Israel, insomuch that the very word for God in the old Babylonian is represented by a star (*); and in the later Assyrian character star was represented by the symbol for God thrice repeated. Assur, the supreme deity of the Assyrian Pantheon, is called in the inscriptions "king of the legions of heaven and earth," or "of the great gods." Similar titles were given to the Babylonian Nebo and Merodach. The Hebrew phrase is therefore, in one sense, equivalent to a concise assertion of the statement, "Jehovah your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords" (Deuteronomy 10:17 : comp. also Psalm 95:3; Psalm 97:7). That the hosts in question are the stars appears from Psalm 33:6; Isaiah 40:26; Judges 5:20. . . .
