Verses 11-12
God promised David-the oath being a poetic equivalent of a sure promise-that He would raise up a dynasty of David’s descendants that would follow him on Israel’s throne (2 Samuel 7:12-16). If they were faithful to the Lord, He would give them an unbroken succession. Of course this did not happen, because David’s descendants did not all follow God faithfully. Nevertheless God preserved David’s dynasty as He said He would.
