I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:
God designated David as His servant by deliberate choice and set him apart by anointing with holy oil. That anointing marked divine selection rather than mere human appointment to kingship. The pledges given to David and his house were not exhausted in his own lifetime or in his immediate successors. They reached forward to the eternal ages and meet their full and complete realization in Christ.
