A Kingdom from Sea to River
Commentators like Albert Barnes and John Calvin explain that this verse has a direct historical meaning. It refers to God's promise to expand David's kingdom to its ideal borders: from the Mediterranean Sea in the west to the great rivers like the Euphrates in the east. This vast dominion was a fulfillment of the covenant promise made to Abraham and was largely realized under David and Solomon.
