The royal covenant was made with David (2 Sam 7). It promised to establish his dynasty forever while acknowledging that its original royal-covenant promises had been given to the ancestor of the whole nation, Abraham. The Davidic covenant [31] establishes David and his descendants as the kings of the united monarchy of Israel [32] (which ...
The "covenant" in verse 27a most likely refers to the covenant between the Jewish hellenizers and Antiochus IV reported in 1 Maccabees 1:11, [77] [82] with the ban on regular worship for a period that lasted approximately three and a half years alluded to in the subsequent clause (cf. Daniel 7:25; 8:14; 12:11).
The Talmud (Arakhin 12b) accounts for 40 years of wandering in the wilderness, and 7 years taken to conquer the land of Canaan and 7 years to divide the land among the tribes, putting the first Jubilee cycle precisely 54 years after the exodus (i.e. in 1258 BC), and saying that the people of Israel counted 17 Jubilees from the time they entered ...

Some scholars state that God has promised an eternal dynasty to David unconditionally (1 Kings 11:36, 15:4, 2 Kings 8:19).

Most interpreters have taken the expression "throne of Israel" as a reference to the throne of the United Monarchy.
