Being therefore for therefore being, A.V.; that of the fruit of his loins he would set one upon for that of the fruit of his loins according to the flesh he would raise up Christ to sit on, A.V. and T.

R. Had sworn, etc. The first record of God's promise to David is in 2 Samuel 7:11-16 : "The Lord telleth thee that he will make thee an house. And … I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and will establish his kingdom ….

Thy throne shall be established forever;" and in 2 Samuel 7:28, David speaks of it as God's promise: "Thy words be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant." But there is no mention there of an oath.

But in Psalms 89:1-52, great stress is laid upon God having sworn to David: "I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations" (Psalms 89:3, Psalms 89:4); and again, Psalms 89:35, "Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David" 1 Samuel 7:1-17 and Psalms 89:1-52, should be read through carefully (comp.

also Isaiah 4:3; Acts 13:23). (For the phrase, "I have sworn by my holiness," see Amos 4:2.
