Yes, they were foreshadowings also.  They were not kings, however, so
the were the foreshadowing of the church, for the scripture says that
we are all preists if we are heirs to the high priest.

Not quite!  It said that David's men had *SANCTIFIED* themselves for
that cause at that time by virtue of having not touched a woman for 3
days.  They had also fasted and prayed for three days.  We cannot be
priests withpout being sanctified, and we are sanctified by the blood
of Jesus.
