Text: 2 Chronicles 6:1-42
OT Text Referred to: Isaiah 55:3
Subject: Steadfast love promised to David
Source: Treasury of Scripture Knowledge
Reference Type: Allusion
Connection Method(s): Longitudinal Theme
Significance: The Chronicler's conclusion to Solomon's prayer invokes "the steadfast love promised to David Your servant" (chasdei David avdekha, 2 Chr 6:42), language that echoes Isaiah 55:3's invitation: "I will make an everlasting covenant with you, the steadfast, sure love promised to David" (chasdei David hanne'emanim). Both texts use the distinctive phrase chasdei David to refer to God's irrevocable covenant promises to the Davidic house. Isaiah 55:3 democratizes these royal promises, extending them to the entire people, while the Chronicler anchors them in the temple dedication, showing that the Davidic covenant and the temple are inseparable realities.
