David goes to his son, where?

@Steven J

We know that David is dead and buried (Acts 2:29), and we know that he will be resurrected (Jeremiah 30:9), and will rule as a prince (or king) over the 12 tribes of Israel (Ezekial 34), with the apostles each one a throne over one of the 12 tribes (Matthew 19:28)

Jesus taught that no man, presumably including David, had yet ascended to heaven (John 3:13). And Jesus teaches that his followers will inherit the kingdom of God when Jesus comes again, the second coming.

"where I will be, there you will be also"

And Hebrews clearly teaches that those that died before the time Jesus walked the earth did not yet inherit the promise, not even Abraham (cf. Acts 7)

The resurrection of the dead will occur when Jesus returns (1 Thessalonians 4)

So, when David says that he will go to his son... is he meaning that he will go to his son in the grave, when he is dead and buried?

Or, is perhaps David looking further ahead than that, and looking forward to his inheritance, his existence in the coming Kingdom of God?
