And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children’s children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever.
They're going to live in the same land I gave to Jacob, you know, the place where your ancestors lived. And it's not just temporary, they'll be there forever, along with their kids and their kids' kids. And David? He'll be their leader for all time.
God's giving his people a forever home with a forever leader.
