David found loving favor with God and prayed for a dwelling place for the God of Jacob,
After removing him, God raised up David to be king, for God said of him, ‘I have found in David, son of Jesse, a man who always pursues my heart and will accomplish all that I have destined him to do.’
For you gave your word and promised David in an unbreakable oath that one of his sons would be sitting on the throne to succeed him as king.
