And when

As the time approached for David to die, he instructed his son Solomon,

The Lord has fulfilled what He promised.
I have taken the place of my father David,
and I sit on the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised.
I have built the temple for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.

Sleep

The Lord said to Moses, “You are about to rest with your fathers, and these people will soon commit adultery with the foreign gods of the land they are entering. They will abandon Me and break the covenant I have made with them.

Otherwise, when my lord the king rests with his fathers, I and my son Solomon will be regarded as criminals.”

Many of those who sleep in the dust
of the earth will awake,
some to eternal life,
and some to shame and eternal contempt.

For David, after serving his own generation in God’s plan, fell asleep, was buried with his fathers, and decayed.

Listen! I am telling you a mystery:

We will not all fall asleep,
but we will all be changed,

Since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, in the same way God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep through Jesus.

I will set

Now the word of the Lord came to him: “This one will not be your heir; instead, one who comes from your own body will be your heir.”

When your time comes to be with your fathers, I will raise up after you your descendant, who is one of your own sons, and I will establish his kingdom.

I will establish his line forever,
his throne as long as heaven lasts.

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

The dominion will be vast,
and its prosperity will never end.
He will reign on the throne of David
and over his kingdom,
to establish and sustain it
with justice and righteousness from now on and forever.
The zeal of the Lord of Hosts will accomplish this.

Then a shoot will grow from the stump of Jesse,
and a branch from his roots will bear fruit.

“What do you think about the Messiah? Whose Son is He?”

“David’s,” they told 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.

General references

But he did not invite me—me, your servant—or Zadok the priest or Benaiah son of Jehoiada or your servant Solomon.

Yet you are not the one to build it;
instead, your son, your own offspring,
will build it for My name.”

‘I will establish your offspring forever
and build up your throne for all generations.’”Selah
