I will establish his line forever
This phrase speaks to the enduring promise of God to David, which is rooted in the Hebrew word "קוּם" (qum), meaning to establish or set up. This word conveys a sense of permanence and divine intention. In the historical context, this promise is part of the Davidic Covenant, where God assures David that his lineage will have an everlasting impact. This is not just a temporal promise but one that points to the eternal reign of Jesus Christ, the Messiah, who is from the line of David. The assurance of "forever" underscores God's faithfulness and the unbreakable nature of His promises.

his throne as the days of heaven
The imagery of "his throne" signifies authority, kingship, and governance. In the Hebrew context, the throne is a symbol of power and divine right to rule. The comparison "as the days of heaven" uses the Hebrew word "שָׁמַיִם" (shamayim), which refers to the heavens or the sky, often symbolizing eternity and the divine realm. This phrase suggests that the reign of David's line, ultimately fulfilled in Christ, is as enduring and unchanging as the heavens themselves. It reflects the eternal nature of God's kingdom, which transcends earthly limitations and is rooted in divine sovereignty. This promise is a source of hope and assurance for believers, affirming that God's kingdom is everlasting and His rule is just and righteous.

(29) Days of heaven.--Deuteronomy 11:21. (Comp. Psalm 72:5; and see below, Psalm 89:36.)

Verse 29. - His seed also will I make to endure forever (comp. 2 Samuel 7:16, "Thine house and thy kingdom shall be established forever before me"). And his throne as the days of heaven. "Thy throne shall be established forever;" "I will establish his kingdom" (2 Samuel 7:12, 16)
