However, their works up to this point have overlooked a detailed influence of 2 Samuel 7 on Ezekiel 34 and 37. Therefore, reading the text of Ezekiel in relation to the original form of the Davidic Covenant may reveal further indications of the literary, theological and conceptual influence of 2 Samuel 7 and the help it provides in understanding the function of the promised ruler in Ezekiel 34 and 37. To establish this influence, an intertextual approach proves to be relevant. The intertextual approach used for the exegesis in this book establishes how biblical books are connected and proves the influence of the text of 2 Samuel on that of Ezekiel 34 and 37. The study of 2 Samuel 7 in relation to the Davidic Covenant underscores God’s faithfulness and concern for his people. Godly leadership is the kind of leadership that God desires for his people. Looking at the Davidic Covenant closely and God’s promises in the text of Ezekiel encompasses important implications for African leadership. 2024-02-28T11:25:31Z 2024-02-28T11:25:31Z 2023 book 9781991269027 9781991270023 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/88049 eng HTS Religion & Society Series application/pdf Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International BK470_Web PDF.pdf AOSIS AVARSITY Books 10.4102/aosis.2023.BK470 10.4102/aosis.2023.BK470 d7387d49-5f5c-4cd8-8640-ed0a752627b7 9781991269027 9781991270023 AVARSITY Books 16 148 Capetown open access |

Scholars have offered insight into the Davidic Covenant and the future hope for Israel. However, their works up to this point have overlooked a detailed influence of 2 Samuel 7 on Ezekiel 34 and 37. Therefore, reading the text of Ezekiel in relation to the original form of the Davidic Covenant may reveal further indications of the literary, theological and conceptual influence of 2 Samuel 7 and the help it provides in understanding the function of the promised ruler in Ezekiel 34 and 37. To establish this influence, an intertextual approach proves to be relevant.
The intertextual approach used for the exegesis in this book establishes how biblical books are connected and proves the influence of the text of 2 Samuel on that of Ezekiel 34 and 37. The study of 2 Samuel 7 in relation to the Davidic Covenant underscores God’s faithfulness and concern for his people. Godly leadership is the kind of leadership that God desires for his people. Looking at the Davidic Covenant closely and God’s promises in the text of Ezekiel encompasses important implications for African leadership. |
