'Successor' in the Bible

Now, O Lord God of Israel, keep the promise you made to your servant, my father David, when you said, 'You will never fail to have a successor ruling before me on the throne of Israel, provided that your descendants watch their step and obey my law as you have done.'

Then I will establish your dynasty, just as I promised your father David, 'You will not fail to have a successor ruling over Israel.'

Rehoboam appointed Abijah son of Maacah as the leader over his brothers, for he intended to name him his successor.
