Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
7:17-18 God declared to Solomon that God’s Kingdom is eternal. Where 1 Kgs 9:5 states that one of his descendants will always be on the throne of Israel, the Chronicler says, One of your descendants will always rule over Israel. In the days of the Chronicler there was no throne in Israel, so his statement alludes to the Messiah (cp. Mic 5:2).
