For David The mention of David here is significant as he is a central figure in Jewish history, revered as a king after God's own heart. The Greek name "David" (Δαυίδ) is a direct transliteration from the Hebrew דָּוִד, meaning "beloved." David's life and reign are pivotal in understanding the lineage of Jesus Christ, as he is often seen as a type of Christ, foreshadowing the coming Messiah. when he had served God’s purpose in his own generation fell asleep he was buried with his fathers and saw decay By the will of God.--The words are, perhaps, better connected with the verb that follows. It was by the will (literally, counsel) of God that David fell asleep when his life's work was accomplished. Fell on sleep.--It is not without interest to not that St. Paul uses the same word for death as had been used by the historian in the case of Stephen (Acts 7:36). It agreed with the then current language of mankind that death was as a sleep. It differed from it in thinking of that sleep not as "eternal" (the frequently recurring epithet in Greek and Roman epitaphs), but as the prelude to an awakening. Verse 36. - In his own generation served the counsel of God for served his own generation by the will of God, A.V. Many good commentators construe the words as the R.T. does, only some, instead of in his own generation, render "for," i.e. for the good of, "his own generation." But the A.V. is the most natural division of the sentence, and gives the best sense, only the punctuation should connect the words "by the will of God" with "fell on sleep." There is an allusion to 2 Samuel 7:12 and 1 Kings 2:l, 10, and it is intimated that God was still caring for David in his death. But there was this vast difference between David and Christ. David had a work to do limited to his own generation, and when that work was done he died and saw corruption. But Christ had a work to carry on for eternal generations, and so he rose and saw no corruption.Parallel Commentaries ... Greek Forγὰρ (gar) Conjunction Strong's 1063: For.
