How do we know God's promises to David are true?

Answered in 2 sources

God's promises are affirmed throughout Scripture, showing His faithfulness to David and his descendants, culminating in the coming of Jesus Christ.

God's commitments to David are not only stated clearly in 2 Samuel 7 but are repeatedly affirmed throughout Scripture. The Lord tells David that He will establish his kingdom and that one of his descendants will build a house for Him. Importantly, God emphasizes that He will build a house for David, signifying a legacy of spiritual significance rather than merely a physical structure. This promise finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ, who emerges from David's lineage and establishes an everlasting kingdom. Therefore, the assurance of God's faithfulness is manifest in the unfolding narrative of salvation history, as His promises always come to fruition.
