Then I will establish [same word as in ch. 1 Kings 2:4 , where see note. Surely he would remember this word as it would recall his father's charge to his mind] the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel forever [this is the answer to the prayer of 1 Kings 8:26 ] as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel. [ 2 Samuel 7:12 , 2 Samuel 7:16 ; 1 Kings 2:4 ; 1 Kings 6:12 ; Psalms 132:12 . But the primary reference is to 1 Kings 8:25 ; see Introduction, sect. III .]
