And when

As David’s

time to die drew near, he charged Solomon his son, saying,

Now the Lord has fulfilled His word which He spoke; for I have risen in place of my father David and sit on the throne of Israel, as the Lord

promised, and have built the house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.

Sleep

The Lord said to Moses, “Behold, you are about to lie down with your fathers; and this people will arise and play the harlot with the strange gods of the land, into the midst of which they are going, and will forsake Me and break My covenant which I have made with them.

Otherwise it will come about, as soon as my lord the king sleeps with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon will be considered offenders.”

Many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake, these to everlasting life, but the others to disgrace and everlasting contempt.

For David, after he had served the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep, and was laid among his fathers and underwent decay;

Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.

I will set

Then behold, the word of the Lord came to him, saying, “This man will not be your heir; but one who will come forth from your own body, he shall be your heir.”

Now the Lord has fulfilled His word which He spoke; for I have risen in place of my father David and sit on the throne of Israel, as the Lord

promised, and have built the house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.

When your days are fulfilled that you must go to be with your fathers, that I will set up one of your descendants after you, who will be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom.

“So I will establish his

descendants forever

And his throne as the days of heaven.

The Lord has sworn to David
A truth from which He will not turn back:
“Of the fruit of your body I will set upon your throne.

There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace,
On the throne of David and over his kingdom,
To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness
From then on and forevermore.

The zeal of the Lord of hosts will accomplish this.

Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse,
And a branch from his roots will bear fruit.

“What do you think about the Christ, whose son is He?” They *said to Him, “The son of David.”

And so, because he was a prophet and knew that God had sworn to him with an oath to seat one of his descendants on his throne,

General references

But me, even me your servant, and Zadok the priest and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada and your servant Solomon, he has not invited.

Nevertheless you shall not build the house, but your son who will be born to you, he will build the house for My name.’

I will establish your seed forever
And build up your throne to all generations.”

Selah.
