The LORD hath sworn [in] truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
Ver. 11. The Lord hath sworn in truth] The eternity of Israel cannot lie, 1 Samuel 15:29, yet tendering our infirmity, he sweareth and sealeth to us.
Of the fruit of thy body] David was excellent at making the utmost of a promise, at pressing and oppressing it, till he had expressed the sweetness out of it, Isaiah 66:11. See how he improveth God's promise, and worketh upon it, 1 Chronicles 17:23,26. Solomon had learned to do the like.
