And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.

Verse 16 is found in chapter 7 of 2 Samuel. The promise reaches David’s descendants: God will raise up a son after him and establish his kingdom. The relationship between father, son, throne, and discipline introduces a dynastic dimension that extends into the later history of the kings of Judah. The promise of the permanence of David’s throne becomes one of the fundamental theological themes of Scripture. The text combines election, discipline, and divine faithfulness within the covenant with David’s house.

Aber dein Haus und dein Königreich soll beständig sein ewiglich vor dir, und dein Stuhl soll ewiglich bestehen.
Y será afirmada tu casa y tu reino para siempre delante de tu rostro; y tu trono será estable eternalmente.
Ta maison et ton règne seront pour toujours assurés, ton trône sera pour toujours affermi.
E la tua casa e il tuo regno saranno in perpetuo stabili nel tuo cospetto; il tuo trono sarà fermo in eterno.
Porém a tua casa e o teu reino serão firmados para sempre diante de ti; teu trono será firme para sempre.
你的家和你的國必在你 面前永遠堅立,你的王位也必堅定,直到永遠。』」
