As for me, this {is} my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that {is} upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.

If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;

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:

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;

The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.

Of the increase of {his} government and peace {there shall be} no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.

To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.

And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days.

Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.

{Concerning} this house which thou art in building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I perform my word with thee, which I spake unto David thy father:

Therefore the LORD stablished the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and honour in abundance. {brought: Heb. gave}

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}

But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.

If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;

And from the daughter of Zion all her beauty is departed: her princes are become like harts {that} find no pasture, and they are gone without strength before the pursuer.

Then sat Solomon upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly.

Their blood shall therefore return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace for ever from the LORD.

And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.

Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he be constant to do my commandments and my judgments, as at this day. {constant: Heb. strong}

Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.

That his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, {to} the right hand, or {to} the left: to the end that he may prolong {his} days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel.
