These words encourage us to trust God’s faithfulness in both spiritual and practical matters. v. 11 : God chose David’s family to be the royal family and made a promise with an oath: The Lord has sworn in truth to David, He will not turn from it: “Of the fruit of your body I will set upon your throne” . This promise meant that David’s descendants would rule, starting with Solomon (1 Kings 1:48 ). The promise was also conditional: if David’s children kept God’s covenant, their family would continue to rule. But the greatest fulfillment is in Jesus Christ, who is the everlasting King (Acts 2:30; Luke 1:32 ).
