Psalm 37:10 /11 Just a little while longer, 2,500 years and still counting is, 'a little while'? The wicked will be no more - they seem to be going strong to me. ---------------------- Shortly after David wrote Psalm 37 his son Solomon became king . His rule ushered in a period of peace that David foretold. This included the elimination of those that were wicked.
(1 Kings 2:1, 2) When the time of David’s death drew near, he gave his son Solʹo·mon these instructions: “I am about to die. Therefore, be strong and prove yourself a man.
(1 Kings 2:5, 6) “You also well know what Joʹab the son of Ze·ruʹiah did to me, what he did to two chiefs of the armies of Israel—Abʹner the son of Ner and A·maʹsa the son of Jeʹther. He killed them, shedding the blood of war in peacetime, and he put the blood of war on the belt around his waist and on the sandals on his feet. You must act according to your wisdom and not let his gray hairs go down in peace to the Grave.
Psalm 72 has as a superscription -- Regarding Solomon . His reign as king fulfilled in a minor way what will be accomplished right throughout the earth by the reigning King Jesus, Son of David. - [Matt 22:42].
(Matthew 12:42) The queen of the south will be raised up in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solʹo·mon. But look! something more than Solʹo·mon is here.
