No kidding. From the description, it sure looks like King David was Mars:
1 Chr 22
7. And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build a house to the name of the Lord my God:
8. And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, You have shed abundant blood, and have made great wars; you shall not build a house to my name, because you have shed much blood upon the earth in my sight:
9. Behold, a son shall be born to you, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies around; for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quiet to Israel in his days:
10. He shall build a house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever:
And yet Solomon’s brother Nathan finds his way to messianic prominence.
