32 Dr. Constable's Notes on 1 Chronicles 2007 EditionAs the reign of David closed, God had already fulfilled many of His promises in theDavidic Covenant. Yet many remained unfulfilled. On the basis of God's faithfulnessthus far the Chronicler had built a solid base of confidence that He would also fulfillthose that remained. This fulfillment motif is one he carried through his history of Davidand Solomon's successors that follows in 2 Chronicles."The Chronicler presents not one but two great kings as the ideal forIsrael. The one was David, the warrior-king, who subdued the enemies ofthe people of God and established a secure domain. He was now passing,and the other, Solomon, was taking his place. Solomon was a man ofpeace who would build up the prosperity of the nation. These two thingstogether—victory over enemies and a reign of peace—are both essential.For Christian readers these two ideals are fulfilled in the one man, JesusChrist. He conquers all his foes but at the same time establishes a reign ofpeace for his own people. In this the tandem of David and Solomon are atype of Christ. 9696 Thompson, pp. 198-99. Cf. Wilcock, pp. 140-42.
