Before David died, Jehovah promised him that his kingship would continue indefinitely: “I will raise up your offspring after you, your own son, and I will firmly establish his kingdom. ”
قبل از آن که داود بمیرد ،‏ یَهُوَه به او وعده داد که پادشاهی او تا ابد ادامه خواهد داشت :‏ « ذریّت تو را که از صُلب تو بیرون آید ،‏ بعد از تو استوار خواهم ساخت ،‏ و سلطنت او را پایدار خواهم نمود .‏ »
