2 Chronicles 21:7

21:7 But the Lord was unwilling to destroy David’s dynasty 1  because of the promise 2  he had made to give David a perpetual dynasty. 3 

1 tn Heb “house.”

2 tn Or “covenant.”

3 tn Heb “which he made to David, just as he had promised to give him and his sons a lamp all the days.” Here “lamp” is metaphorical, symbolizing the Davidic dynasty.
