And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.

Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;

I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,

The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou {art} a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

Now therefore, O LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit upon the throne of Israel; yet so that thy children take heed to their way to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me. {There...: Heb. There shall not a man be cut off}

That by two immutable things, in which {it was} impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;

He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:

Thus saith the LORD; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season;

And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.

It shall be established for ever as the moon, and {as} a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.

Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David. {that...: Heb. if I lie}

And it shall come to pass, when thy days be expired that thou must go {to be} with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom.

I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men:

And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he {is} not a man, that he should repent. {Strength: or, Eternity, or, Victory}

Therefore now, LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that thou promisedst him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; so that thy children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked before me. {fail...: Heb. be cut off unto thee a man from my sight} {so that: Heb. only if}

Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail. {will...: Heb. I will not make void from him} {to fall: Heb. to lie}

The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:

Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David. {that...: Heb. if I lie}

Of this man's seed hath God according to {his} promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:

Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?

I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,

The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou {art} a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee. {in goods: or, for good} {body: Heb. belly}

And it shall come to pass, when thy days be expired that thou must go {to be} with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom.

And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.

The LORD {is} the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot. {of mine...: Heb. of my part}

He maketh peace {in} thy borders, {and} filleth thee with the finest of the wheat. {He...: Heb. Who maketh thy border peace} {finest...: Heb. fat of wheat}

That the LORD may continue his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee (said he) a man on the throne of Israel. {fail...: Heb. be cut off from thee from the throne}

As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.

Now, O LORD God, let thy promise unto David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude. {like...: Heb. much as the dust of the earth}

And also thus said the king, Blessed {be} the LORD God of Israel, which hath given {one} to sit on my throne this day, mine eyes even seeing {it}.

Go and get thee in unto king David, and say unto him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? why then doth Adonijah reign?

Then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel for ever, as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel.

Howbeit the LORD would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give a light to him and to his sons for ever. {light: Heb. lamp, or, candle}

And also Solomon sitteth on the throne of the kingdom.

And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers:

Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.

Then will I stablish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man {to be} ruler in Israel. {There...: Heb. There shall not be cut off to thee}

God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

His seed also will I make {to endure} for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

Lord, where {are} thy former lovingkindnesses, {which} thou swarest unto David in thy truth?

Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for ever.

{Then} may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers.

Who found favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
