Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 2 Chronicles 7:18
Then will I establish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man [to be] ruler in Israel.
Verse 18. There shall not fail thee a man] This promise was not fulfilled, because the condition was not fulfilled; they forsook God, and he cut them off, and the throne also.
