Came across the verse below in the Song of Solomon a week or so ago and it triggered a memory of David... Could it be that even in physical appearance David resembled Jesus? Could there be ties between this verse and others?
Song of Solomon 5:10 (KJV)
My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand. (note: a few verses later, the description includes 'fairest among...')
These thoughts led me to the verse below describing David when Samuel had him sent for:
1 Samuel 16:12
And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the Lord said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he.
We know that David was a king, and that the people's adoration of him and the women ascribing 10,000 being slain by him stirred up the jealousy of Saul:
1 Samuel 18:7 (KJV)
And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
Finally - how beautiful! Even a spiritual connection. Jesus, a Nazarite by way of place of birth, can also be seen in the verse below!
Lamentations 4:7
Her Nazarites were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing was of sapphire:
Thank You Jesus for the way You weave Your Word together, it IS altogether lovely!
