Introduction and Importance of the Davidic Covenant
“God’s establishment of His covenant with David represents one of the theological
high points of the OT Scriptures. This key event builds on the preceding covenants
and looks forward to the ultimate establishment of God’s reign on the earth.”
Michael Grisanti
Built Upon the Abrahamic Covenant
“As God set forth the various biblical covenants, each one represented a step
forward in the revelation of God’s intentions for the world. Rather than operating in
distinct orbits or realms, each covenant builds on the preceding covenant or
covenants. Each covenant introduces new elements to God’s revelation of His plan and those elements become part of the
multi-faceted tapestry of biblical covenants.” Michael Grisanti
Similarities with the Abrahamic Covenant
(the Davidic Covenant) “consisted of a reaffirmation of the regal terms of the original
Abrahamic Covenant; with the further provision that these covenanted rights will now attach
permanently to the historic house and succession of David; and also that by God’s
grace these rights, even if historically interrupted for a season, will at last in a future kingdom be restored to the nation in perpetuity
with no further possibility of interruption.”

An Eternal Kingdom and Throne for the Seed
(vv. 12b-16)
Everlasting Aspect
Abraham – Genesis 17:19Judah – Genesis 49:10
Why not Solomon?
“The reader immediately thinks of Solomon, David’s son and heir to the throne who
constructed the first glorious Temple in Jerusalem. Yahweh then affirms that David’s dynasty
(“house”) and throne/kingdom would be eternal (7:13 16). This statement in verses 13 and 16 vaults this portion of God’s oath beyond the
timeframe of Solomon’s reign (which ceased to exist immediately after his death). This incongruity
between divine prophecy and human history invited the NT writers to await a different son of David who would rule eternally.” Robert Bergen
