God's Unbreakable Promise
Commentators emphasize that this verse highlights God's unwavering faithfulness. Despite King Jehoram's profound wickedness, God refused to extinguish the Davidic dynasty. He did this not because of the king's merit, but because of the covenant He had made with David. The 'lamp' is a powerful symbol of this enduring promise to always have a descendant on the throne.
