David was "a man after God's own heart" in those areas that God caused him to be a man after His own heart.
In all other areas David was as carnal as any man who ever lived. David was not spiritually converted. David DIED IN HIS SINS as an unforgiven murderer.
The New Covenant teaches us that if one does not forgive, neither shall he be forgiven, if one hates in his heart, he is a murderer, and a murderer does NOT have eonian life abiding in him (I John 3:15).
David's dying words were for his son to finish off those on his hit list, and to do it soon and to make it bloody! (I Kings 2:5-9).

the bolded words above was caught my attention
And hundreds of years later God said He would raise up a righteous shoot to David. And David his servant would be the prince of Gods people forever.
Think like God not like man and seek the Lord.
"The Lord has redeemed Jacob and shows His glory through Israel."
Another thing is , the land is not a land of earthly places but the land of God. The promised land was never a land of the earth.
"The righteous shall live in the land forever."
Actually it does refer to the earth as the word is:
867 #r,a, n.f. & (seld.) m. earth, land -- 1. a. earth, whole earth (opp. to a part). b. earth, opp. to heaven, sky. c. earth = inhabitants of earth. 2
The LXX of the Hebrew, uses the Greek word:
1293 gea , of the earth; land, country, region; soil, ground; mankind

Thinking like man, remain a man, think like God and walk in His presence.
