The davidic covenant, according to the bible was established between the abrahamic god and king david. In this covenant god promises several things to David. The land of Isreal would always be held by the isrealites and would always be ruled by a king of david's line. This was unconditional as nothing was stipulated to David or his kingdom that would result in the lose of this devine contract. (2 Samuel 7)
And yet, the isrealites did loose their land, for quite some time too. In fact I don't think they've recovered it all even today, but I could be wrong about that. Also, Isreal is not ruled by a king, much less one from the lineage of david.
So what's going on here? Does this god not keep his word? Perhaps he's too busy causing floods or not existing. What do you think?
"I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto david my servant, thy seed will I establish forever, and build throne to all generations." - Psalm 89:3-4
Also see Psalm 28-29 and 34-36
