My mercy Declared and promised to him and his seed, as it here follows; will I keep for him for evermore Nothing shall alter my kind intentions, but I will mercifully fulfil all my promises to him; and my covenant shall stand fast, &c. Of which see notes on 2 Samuel 7:12-13. His seed will I make to endure for ever That is, to sit upon the throne for ever, as the next words explain it. This was accomplished only in Christ, the eternal king of the church and of the world, who was of David's seed according to the flesh. And his throne as the days of heaven As long as the world shall have a being, or for ever, as was now said. It shall be as unchangeable and durable as the heavens themselves, which are of an incorruptible nature. If his children forsake my law Of this and the following verses, to Psalms 89:34, see the notes on 2 Samuel 7:14-16.
