1 Chronicles 17:11-14 "When your days are over and you go to be with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, one of your own sons, and I will establish his kingdom. He is the one who will build a house for me, and I will establish his throne forever. I will be his father, and he will be my son. I will never take my love away from him, as I took it away from your predecessor. I will set him over my house and my kingdom forever; his throne will be established forever."
Hope:
The remnant of Israel had returned from exile to a devastated land. And they had rebuilt a temple far less glorious than the one which had been destroyed. They were a discouraged people. This book was written as an encouragement to hope through. Worship the God who is your hope. The Davidic Covenant (see above) was the centerpiece of that hope.
