Definition: Adopition, in the Old Testament, refers to an act of God's favor, a special blessing or a divine grace. It typically occurs as a result of a specific event that leads to a person being favored by God. This type of adopition is often accompanied by miracles or other signs of Divine intervention. The word 'adopition' itself appears in the Hebrew Bible multiple times. In this text, it describes an act that brings about a special favor from God. Specifically, the text indicates that when David obtained a favorable land grant, he was "adopted" into God's family (Deuteronomy 23:1-5). The biblical story of David shows him being adopted by the Lord through the prophet Samuel. In this passage, it describes how Samuel was instructed to prepare a special ceremony for the King who had been chosen by the Lord as King over Israel. Samuel then performed the ceremony at which he "adopted" David as his son-in-law. This adopition is a significant event that indicates God's favor and blessing on the king and his family, leading to significant blessings in their life paths. The word 'adopition' is thus a reminder of how God can use acts of kindness or miracles to bring about a favorable outcome or blessing for others in His kingdom.
