2 Samuel 7:11-16

11 afrom the time that I appointed judges over my people Israel. And bI will give you rest from all your enemies. Moreover, the Lord declares to you that cthe Lord will make you a house. 12 dWhen your days are fulfilled and eyou lie down with your fathers, fI will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 gHe shall build a house for my name, and hI will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 14 iI will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son. When he commits iniquity, jI will discipline him with the rod of men, with the stripes of the sons of men, 15 kbut my steadfast love will not depart from him, las I took it from Saul, whom I put away from before you. 16 mAnd your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before me.
Septuagint; Hebrew you
oYour throne shall be established forever.’”

1 Kings 12:16

The Kingdom Divided

16And when all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, the people answered the king, “What portion do we have in David? We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse. pTo your tents, O Israel! Look now to your own house, David.” So Israel went to their tents.

Psalms 89:35-49

35Once for all I have sworn qby my holiness;
I will not rlie to David.
36His soffspring shall endure forever,
this uthrone as long as vthe sun before me.
37Like wthe moon it shall be established forever,
xa faithful witness in the skies.”  Selah
38 But now you have ycast off and rejected;
you are full of wrath against your zanointed.
39You have aarenounced abthe covenant with your servant;
you have acdefiled his adcrown in the dust.
40You have aebreached all his walls;
you have laid his strongholds in ruins.
41 afAll who pass by plunder him;
he has become agthe scorn of his neighbors.
42You have exalted the right hand of his foes;
you have made all his enemies rejoice.
43You have also turned back the edge of his sword,
and you have not made him stand in battle.
44You have made his splendor to cease
and cast his throne to the ground.
45You have cut short ahthe days of his youth;
you have aicovered him with shame.  Selah
46 ajHow long, O Lord? Will you hide yourself forever?
How long will your wrath akburn like fire?
47 alRemember amhow short my antime is!
For what vanity you have created all the children of man!
48 aoWhat man can live and never apsee death?
Who can deliver his soul from the power of aqSheol?  Selah
49 Lord, where is your arsteadfast love of old,
which by your asfaithfulness you swore to David?

Isaiah 9:6-7

6 atFor to us a child is born,

avand the government shall be awupon
Or is upon

from this time forth and forevermore.
bgThe zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.

Jeremiah 33:24-26

24“Have you not observed that these people are saying, ‘The Lord has rejected the two clans that he chose’? Thus they have despised my people so that they are no longer a nation in their sight. 25Thus says the Lord: bhIf I have not established my covenant with day and night and the fixed order of heaven and earth, 26then I will reject the offspring of Jacob and David my servant and will not choose one of his offspring to rule over the offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. biFor I will restore their fortunes and will have mercy on them.”
