God's Unbreakable Oath
Commentators stress that God's promise to David was not a casual statement but a solemn, unbreakable oath. The phrase "in truth" signifies God's absolute sincerity and faithfulness. As John Calvin notes, this oath was given to remove all doubt. For believers today, this demonstrates that we can have complete confidence in God's promises, knowing He will not go back on His word.
