The Davidic Kingdom

24 “And My servant (A)David will be king over them, and they will all have (B)one shepherd; and they will walk in My ordinances, and keep My statutes and [a]follow them. 25 And they will live on the land that I gave to My servant Jacob, in which your fathers lived; and they will live on it, they, and their sons and their sons’ sons, forever; and My servant (C)David will be their leader forever. 26 And I will make a (D)covenant of peace with them; it will be an (E)everlasting covenant with them. And I will [b]place them and (F)multiply them, and set My (G)sanctuary in their midst forever. 27 My (H)dwelling place also will be among them; and (I)I will be their God, and they will be My people. 28 And the nations will know that I am the Lord (J)who sanctifies Israel, when My sanctuary is in their midst forever.”’”

24 “My servant David will be their king, and they will have only one shepherd. They will obey my regulations and be careful to keep my decrees. 25 They will live in the land I gave my servant Jacob, the land where their ancestors lived. They and their children and their grandchildren after them will live there forever, generation after generation.
