1 Kings 9:5

Then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel for
ever
In a succession in his posterity, until the coming of the Messiah:

a man upon the throne of Israel;
not fail one of his posterity to sit upon it; see ( 2 Samuel 7:12 2 Samuel 7:13 ) ( Psalms 132:11 Psalms 132:12 ) .

1 Kings 9:5 In-Context

3 And the Lord said to him, Your prayers and your requests for grace have come to my ears: I have made holy this house which you have made, and I have put my name there for ever; my eyes and my heart will be there at all times.

4 As for you, if you will go on your way before me, as David your father did, uprightly and with a true heart, doing what I have given you orders to do, keeping my laws and my decisions;

5 Then I will make the seat of your rule over Israel certain for ever, as I gave my word to David your father, saying, You will never be without a man to be king in Israel.

6 But if you are turned from my ways, you or your children, and do not keep my orders and my laws which I have put before you, but go and make yourselves servants to other gods and give them worship:

7 Then I will have Israel cut off from the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for myself, I will put away from before my eyes; and Israel will be a public example, and a word of shame among all peoples.
