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.”’”

David’s Rule as King

24 “‘“My servant King David will be there for them, and one shepherd will be appointed for them. They will live according to my decrees, keep my regulations, and practice them. 25 They will live in the land that I gave to my servant Jacob and on which your ancestors lived. They will live in that land, along with their children and grandchildren, forever. David my servant will be their everlasting leader. 26 I’ll make a secure covenant[a] with them, one that will last forever. I will establish them, make them increase in population,[b] and will place my sanctuary in their midst forever. 27 I will pitch my tent among them and will be their God. They will be my people, 28 and the nations will learn that I, the Lord, am the sanctifier of Israel when I place my sanctuary in their midst forever.”’”
