2 S. 7:8‑17• 8Ahora pues, dirás así á mi siervo David: Así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos: Yo te tomé de la majada, de detrás de las ovejas, para que fueses príncipe sobre mi pueblo, sobre Israel;
9Y he sido contigo en todo cuanto has andado, y delante de ti he talado todos tus enemigos, y te he hecho nombre grande, como el nombre de los grandes que son en la tierra.
10Además yo fijaré lugar á mi pueblo Israel; yo lo plantaré, para que habite en su lugar, y nunca más sea removido, ni los inicuos le aflijan más, como antes,
11Desde el día que puse jueces sobre mi pueblo Israel; y yo te daré descanso de todos tus enemigos. Asimimso Jehová te hace saber, que él te quiere hacer casa.
12Y cuando tus días fueren cumplidos, y durmieres con tus padres, yo estableceré tu simiente después de ti, la cual procederá de tus entrañas, y aseguraré su reino.
13El edificará casa á mi nombre, y yo afirmaré para siempre el trono de su reino.
14Yo le seré á él padre, y él me será á mí hijo. Y si él hiciere mal, yo le castigaré con vara de hombres, y con azotes de hijos de hombres;
15Empero mi misericordia no se apartaré de él, como la aparté de Saúl, al cual quité de delante de ti.
16Y será afirmada tu casa y tu reino para siempre delante de tu rostro; y tu trono será estable eternalmente.
17Conforme á todas estas palabras, y conforme á toda esta visión, así habló Nathán á David.

Jer. 33:20‑21,26• 20Así ha dicho Jehová: Si pudieres invalidar mi concierto con el día y mi concierto con la noche, por manera que no haya día ni noche á su tiempo,
21Podráse también invalidar mi pacto con mi siervo David, para que deje de tener hijo que reine sobre su trono, y con los Levitas y sacerdotes, mis ministros.
26También desecharé la simiente de Jacob, y de David mi siervo, para no tomar de su simiente quien sea señor sobre la simiente de Abraham, de Isaac, y de Jacob. Porque haré volver su cautividad, y tendré de ellos misericordia.

 So even Gentiles are to enjoy the blessings of “the everlasting covenant”. (Isaiah 55 by F.B. Hole)
 Preaching in the synagogue at Antioch, the Apostle Paul cited the words “the sure mercies of David”, and connected them with the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. These words connect themselves also with what we find in Psalm 89, particularly verses 19-29. In that Psalm mercies are specially emphasized, and the “David” is God’s “Holy One” (verse 19), who is to be made “My Firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth” (verse 27), and “My covenant shall stand fast with Him” (verse 28). Clearly the Psalm contemplates the Son of David, of whom David was but the type. (Isaiah 55 by F.B. Hole)
