What is davidic monarchy?

Answer 1

While my honourable colleague Chis C outlined the biblical overview of the Davidic Monarchy he failed to mention the fact that not all biblical-historical narratives project modern historical analyses of bronze and iron age events. At the close of the Bronze Age (Bronze III) in the Lavant Saulide power, centred around the territory of Banjamin was useruped by the Judite noble, David. David is seen in the Biblical texts as both a hero and a vilain, depending on the monarchic ideology of the author. For in Davidic rule we see the transition of Israel and Judah from a segmentary society into a fully-fledged and centralised city state society from where an empire could be built under his favoured son, Solomon.
The genius of David is that he unified very diverse groups, as we see in the time of Saul there are meny cultic centres and high places, such as Shiloh and Bethel etc. David centralises national government in contradistinction to Saul's rustic chieftainary and establishes a centralised government and religious cultus at the city of Jebus (later Jerusalem). The brilliance of this move is that Jerusalem was neither an Israelite nor a Judite city but a citadel of the Canaanite Jebusites. This affords David a city that was not previously a territory of the tribes (the City of David) and thus gives him freedom from tribal jealousies and so forth. Essentially what Davidic Monarchy in Israel is, is the primal moves from fragmentary culture to stability from where Israel could become an Iron Age empire.
Yet, as a general outline, what Chris C has said is true but vague. Shalom

Answer 2

History of the Davidic Monarchy (1 Chronicles 11-2 Chronicles 36)
This part of Chronicles covers the history of the Davidic monarchy from David to the Babylonian exile. It can be subdivided into three sections.

David's reign: 1 Chronicles 11-29
Solomon's reign: 2 Chronicles 1-9
Kings of Judah from Rehoboam to Cyrus's Edict of Return from Exile: 2 Chronicles 10-36.
The Chronicler used the books of Samuel and Kings from the Deuteronomistic History as his main source in retelling the history of the Judean monarchy. About half of Chronicles comes from the books of Samuel and Kings.

Answer 3

To add to what Chris C said the Davidic monarchy is still in effect. Jesus Christ is the last king in David's lineage and He still lives.
