David » King of israel » Prophecies concerning him and his kingdom
Lo! days are coming, Declareth Yahweh, when I will raise up to David A righteous Bud, And he shall reign as king, and prosper, And shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.
I see One, who is not now, I observe One, who is not nigh, - There hath marched forth a Star out of Jacob. And arisen a Sceptre out of Israel, That hath dishonoured the beard of Mesh, Yea the crown of the head of all the tumultuous;
Of the increase of dominion, and of prosperity, There shall be no end - Upon the throne of David and Upon his kingdom, By establishing it and By sustaining it, With justice and With righteousness, - From henceforth, Even unto times age-abiding: The jealousy of Yahweh of hosts, will perform this!
Is it not yours to know, that, Yahweh God of Israel gave the kingdom to David, over Israel, unto times age-abiding, - to him and to his sons, by a covenant of salt?
Yea One wieldeth dominion out of Jacob, - Who hath destroyed the remnant out of the fortress.
even from the day when I put judges in charge over my people Israel, thus will I give thee rest from all thine enemies. And Yahweh must tell thee that, a house, will Yahweh make for thee. And it shall be that, when thy days shall be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, then will I raise up thy seed after thee, which proceedeth from thine own body, - and I will establish his kingdom. He, shall build a house for my name, - and I will establish his kingly throne unto times age-abiding: read more.

So shall thy house and thy kingdom be made steadfast unto times age-abiding, before thee, - thy throne, shall be established unto times age-abiding.

So shall thy house and thy kingdom be made steadfast unto times age-abiding, before thee, - thy throne, shall be established unto times age-abiding.
and will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall inhabit their place, and be unsettled no more, - neither shall the sons of perversity again wear them out, as at the first; even from the days when I put judges in charge over my people Israel, and have subdued all thine enemies, - that I might make thee great, yea, a house, will Yahweh build for thee. And it shall be that, when thy days are fulfilled, to sleep with thy fathers, then will I raise up thy seed after thee, who shall be of thy sons, - and I will establish his kingdom. read more.

From the day I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt, I made choice of no city, out of all the tribes of Israel, for building a house, where my Name might be, - neither made I choice of any man, to be chief ruler over my people Israel: nevertheless I have made choice of Jerusalem, that my Name might be there, - and I have made choice of David, that he might be over my people Israel. And so it came to pass, that it was near the heart of David my father, - to build a house, to the Name of Yahweh, God of Israel. read more.
Then said Yahweh unto David my father, Because it was near thy heart to build a house for my Name, thou didst well that it was near thy heart: Only, thou thyself, must not build the house, - but, thine own son, that proceedeth out of thy loins - he, shall build the house for my Name. So then Yahweh hath established his word, which he spake, - and I have been raised up instead of David my father, and have taken my seat upon the throne of Israel, as spake Yahweh, and have built the house to the Name of Yahweh, God of Israel; and have put there, the ark, - wherein is the covenant of Yahweh, - which he solemnised with the sons of Israel. Then stood he before the altar of Yahweh, in the presence of all the convocation of Israel, - and spread forth his hands; for Solomon had made a platform of bronze, and had set it in the midst of the enclosure, five cubits, the length thereof, and, five cubits, the breadth thereof, and, three cubits, the height thereof,-and he stood thereon, and knelt upon his knees, in the presence of all the convocation of Israel, and spread forth his hands, heavenward; and said, O Yahweh! God of Israel, Not like unto thee, is there a god, in the heavens, or throughout the earth, - who keepest Covenant and Lovingkindness for thy servants who are walking before thee with all their heart: who hast kept, for thy servant David my father, that which thou didst promise him, - in that thou didst promise with thy mouth, and, with thy hand, hast fulfilled, as it is this day. Now, therefore, O Yahweh - God of Israel, keep thou, for thy servant David my father, that which thou didst promise him, saying, There shall not be cut off to thee a man, from before me, to sit upon the throne of Israel, if only, thy sons take heed to their way, to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me. Now, therefore, O Yahweh, God of Israel,-verified be thy promise, which thou didst make unto thy servant David.

No foe shall make exactions on him, Nor shall, a son of perversity, humiliate him; And I will shatter, from before him, his adversaries, And, them who hate him, will I smite; And, my faithfulness and my lovingkindness, shall be with him, And, in my Name, exalted shall be his horn; And I will set, in the sea, his hand, And, in the rivers, his right hand; He, shall cry out unto me, My Father, thou art, My GOD, and my Rock of Salvation! Yea, I, will appoint him, firstborn, Most High to the kings of the earth! Age-abidingly, will I keep for him my lovingkindness, And, my covenant, hath been made steadfast for him; Therefore will I appoint, to futurity, his seed, And his throne as the days of the heavens. If his sons forsake my law, And, in my regulations, do not walk; If, my statutes, they profane, And, my commandments, do not keep: Then will I punish, with a rod, their transgression; And, with stripes, their iniquity: But, my lovingkindness, will I not frustrate from them, Neither will I falsify my faithfulness; I will not violate my covenant, And that which hath proceeded out of my lips, will I not alter: One thing, have I sworn by my holiness, Verily, to David, will I not lie; His seed, age-abidingly, shall remain, And, his throne, be like the sun before me; Like the moon, shall it be established unto times age-abiding, And, a witness, in the skies, hath been made sure.
