What does the Bible say about God's promises to David?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible reveals that God made a covenant with David, promising that his lineage would produce an eternal kingdom through the Messiah.
In 2 Samuel 7, God reassures David of His faithfulness by making a covenant that establishes David's house and kingdom forever. Despite David's desire to build a temple for God, God redirects the focus by promising that while David would not build the temple, his son Solomon would, and ultimately, a greater Son, Jesus Christ, would establish an everlasting kingdom (2 Samuel 7:14-16). This highlights God's sovereignty in using David's lineage to bring about a salvation plan through Christ, the eternal King.
