I will always preserve My faithful love for him,
and My covenant with him will endure.

Is it not true my house is with God?
For He has established an everlasting covenant with me,
ordered and secured in every detail.
Will He not bring about
my whole salvation and my every desire?

“Since the day I brought My people Israel out of Egypt,
I have not chosen a city to build a temple in
among any of the tribes of Israel,
so that My name would be there.
But I have chosen David to rule My people Israel.”

Pay attention and come to Me;
listen, so that you will live.
I will make an everlasting covenant with you,
the promises assured to David.

They will serve the Lord their God and I will raise up David their king for them.”

and will be called the Son of the Most High,
and the Lord God will give Him
the throne of His father David.

My chosen

You once spoke in a vision to Your loyal ones
and said: “I have granted help to a warrior;
I have exalted one chosen from the people.

He chose David His servant
and took him from the sheepfolds;

“This is My Servant; I strengthen Him,
this is My Chosen One; I delight in Him.
I have put My Spirit on Him;
He will bring justice to the nations.

And there came a voice from heaven:

This is My beloved Son.
I take delight in Him!

Here is My Servant whom I have chosen,
My beloved in whom My soul delights;
I will put My Spirit on Him,
and He will proclaim justice to the nations.

Sworn

Once and for all
I have sworn an oath by My holiness;
I will not lie to David.

The Lord swore an oath to David,
a promise He will not abandon:
“I will set one of your descendants
on your throne.

May God punish Abner and do so severely if I don’t do for David what the Lord swore to him:

Since he was a prophet, he knew that God had sworn an oath to him to seat one of his descendants

on his throne.

but He became a priest with an oath made by the One who said to Him:

The Lord has sworn,
and He will not change His mind,
You are a priest forever.
