God & spiritual government: So David reigned over all Israel and did what was just and right for all his people. 1 Chronicles 18:14

The life of King David is a clear example in the Bible of when power and the spiritual government are united in one person. Although David did not receive the wisdom of his son Solomon, who had the task of building the first temple in Jerusalem, his actions as a guided, enlightened, and inspired person are very clear in the Bible.
It could be stated without great error that David was a personification of the Kingdom of God, the dominion or empire of the divine perfections, in the Old Testament. In other words, David personified the government of God among the Israelites. The First Book of Chronicles relates that David, after the death of King Saul, was proclaimed king in Hebron, and thus David began great feats as a ruler, as he had done when he defeated Goliath, the Philistine.
After his coronation, David conquered the city of Jerusalem, moved the ark of the covenant to that city, and, guided by God, secured the borders of his kingdom by defeating the Philistines, who saw David as a threat. The Book of Chronicles also recounts a special event in the reign of this great king, who personified a spiritual government in Israel, the covenant between God and David through the prophet Nathan. This pact has had a profound influence on the Christian faith; God's promise to elevate one of his descendants to royalty after his death is interpreted as the promise of a messiah, personified centuries later in Jesus, the "Son of Man".
And the Bible summarizes David's reign in a very simple way: "So David reigned over all Israel and did what was just and right for all his people" 1 Chronicles 18:14.
David was truly a spiritual person, and so he ruled, fulfilling the will of God. And David did all this for a very simple reason: David feared God above all things. Despite some personal failings, in a world given over to greed and the selfish desire for happiness, David was a faithful follower of the law of Moses, achieving success in all his projects. David achieved glory and was blessed by God, inspiring thousands of Bible readers more than three thousand years after his life.
