| Summary: | The anticipation of a future Davidide is present but not prominent in the Book of the Twelve, with the prophecy of Hosea introducing this theme in two key verses (Hos. 1.11 [Heb. 2.2]; 3.5) and setting thematic trends for the Twelve as a whole. Nothing subsequent to the prophecy of Hosea amends or corrects the main features of the Hosean portrait of kingship. Despite a general negativity toward contemporary kings, kingship is viewed as a viable model for government, and it is anticipated that restored kingship will be Davidic in character. The Davidic king has a circumscribed domestic role in the kingdom of God, for it is YHWH who will deliver his people and rule the nations from Jerusalem. |
