I can vaguely remember a Covenant made between Israel and a foreign Nation that was broken before David's time and King David still considered it a valid covenant that the Nation of Israel was responsible for and had to repent for. Does anyone have any memory of such? I can't recall it.
I believe that was the Covenant the Children of Israel, in Joshua's time made with the Gibeonites.Joshua 9 - The Gibeonite Deception
Saul was killing them in his misguided zeal & The Lord put a famine on the land after his death as a punishment for
transgressing that covenant, which David appeased by hanging Saul's sons, thus showing that the covenant made
several centuries previous was still Binding & in Effect just Like The Solemn League & Covenant is today
still binding & in effect on the U.K. & her dependencies , like my country Australia, which is still under the Crown.
you see there was a Covenant made several centuries previous which was still in effect.
Saul could not nullify it by the extermination of one of the parties, nor was it annulled by a change of Government, Israel went from the rule of Judges to a monarchy, nor was it invalidated by a change in the Ruling House, house of Saul to the House of David.
The Covenant with the Gibeonites could not be voided, rescinded or abolished by any of these circumstances, so if the Ruling House of Stuart were changed to another Ruling House, how does this invalidate The Solemn League & Covenant ?
