2 Chr 21:7

21:7 not willing to destroy the house of David. The house of David was on the brink of annihilation. Jehoram deserved to die, but God preserved his life to fulfill His promise of a permanent dynasty to David. Despite the sins of individual descendants of David, the Davidic line would never be entirely rejected (1 Chr. 17:7–14 note).
