What does the Bible say about God's chosen king?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible teaches that God has chosen David as His king, a type of Christ, illustrating that kings are divinely appointed rather than elected by men.

In 1 Samuel 16, God instructs Samuel to anoint David as king, highlighting that kings are not elected but chosen by God according to His divine purpose. This demonstrates the sovereign authority of God in establishing His leadership over His people, which points to Christ, the ultimate King, who is referred to as the Son of David. God’s choice of David symbolizes His sovereignty and the fact that Christ would fulfill the promise of a perfect king, one who is divinely appointed to lead His people.
