The Bible indicates David will be raised up by the LORD God to also rule over Israel. That could be symbolic of Christ Himself, being from the line of David; or, it could be that David himself will literally have a role to play in the kingdom.

Jeremiah 30:9 But they shall serve the LORD their God and David their king, whom I will raise up for them.

Ezekiel 37:24
The Davidic Kingdom
24"My servant David will be king over them, and they will all have one shepherd; and they will walk in My ordinances and keep My statutes and observe them

Ezekiel 34:24
24"And I, the LORD, will be their God, and My servant David will be prince among them; I the LORD have spoken.

Hosea 3:5
5Afterward the sons of Israel will return and seek the LORD their God and David their king; and they will come trembling to the LORD and to His goodness in the last days.

Since Jesus and YHWH are synonymous, I don't think we can say that the literal David will not have a role to play. Ultimately, Israel will serve the LORD her God. But, David may have a governing role.

Yes, but the David mentioned in those verses is a symbol for Christ. He has taken up His place on the Father's right hand, ie, assumed the throne. David will be great in heaven no doubt about it, but from the beginning he knew another was to come.

Psalm 110:1

The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool
