Study Lenses

The verse centers on "thus", "dauid", "sonne", "ishai", "reigned", "ouer", and "israel". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "thus" and "dauid", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The nearby context moves from verse 25's "And the Lord magnified Salomon in dignitie..." into verse 27's "And the space that he reigned ouer...", so "thus" and "dauid" belong inside that flow. In 1 Chronicles context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "thus" and "dauid" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
