So because he was a prophet The phrase "So because he was a prophet" refers to King David, who is recognized not only as a king but also as a prophet in the biblical tradition. The Greek word for prophet, "προφήτης" (prophētēs), signifies one who speaks forth by divine inspiration. In the context of Acts 2:30, this highlights David's role in foretelling the coming of the Messiah. Historically, David's life and writings, particularly the Psalms, are seen as divinely inspired, providing insight into God's plan for salvation. This acknowledgment of David as a prophet underscores the continuity of God's revelation from the Old Testament to the New Testament. and knew that God had sworn to him on oath that He would place one of his descendants on his throne He would raise up Christ.--The Greek, by using the verb from which comes the word "resurrection," gives to the verb the definite sense of "raising from the dead."

Had sworn, etc. The first record of God's promise to David is in 2 Samuel 7:11-16: "The Lord telleth thee that he will make thee an house. And...

Thy throne shall be established forever;" and in ver. 28, David speaks of it as God's promise: "Thy words be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant." But there is no mention there of an oath. But in Psalm 89, great stress is laid upon God having sworn to David: "I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations" (vers. 3, 4); and again, ver. 35, "Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David" 1 Samuel 7 and Psalm 89, should be read through carefully (comp. also Isaiah 4:3; Acts 13:23).
