1 Kings 11:36
34 I will not take the whole kingdom from his hand. I will allow him to be ruler for the rest of his life for the sake of my chosen servant David who kept my commandments and rules. 35 I will take the kingdom from the hand of his son and give 10 tribes to you. 36 I will leave his son one tribe so there might be a lamp for David my servant all the days before me in Jerusalem59, the city I have chosen as my home. 37 I will select you; you will rule over all you desire to have and you will be king over Israel. 38 You must obey all I command you to do, follow my instructions, do what I approve, and keep my rules and commandments, as my servant David did. Then I will be with you and establish for you a lasting dynasty, as I did for David; I will give you Israel.
Psalm 132:17
15 I will abundantly supply what she needs; I will give her poor all the food they need. 16 I will protect her priests, and her godly people will shout exuberantly. 17 There I will make David strong; I have arranged a lamp for my anointed one.28 18 I will humiliate his enemies, and his crown will shine.”
Notes and References
"... Both the time for lighting and for extinguishing the lamps were used as time specifications for other activities (Exodus 30:7-8) or simply for indicating a certain time of day (1 Samuel 3:3). As natural light takes on positive associations based on its role as dispeller of darkness, a congruent metaphoric range extends to the artificial light from lamps: e.g. 'For you are my lamp, Yahweh, and Yahweh will illuminate my darkness' (2 Samuel 22:29). So, too, we should note the lamp imagery applied to David and the Davidic covenant (2 Samuel 21:17; 1 Kings 11:36; 15:4; 2 Kings 18:19; 2 Chronicles 21:7; Psalm 132:17). On the other hand, extinguishing a lamp is a way of referring to divine punishment (Proverbs 20:20; 24:20; Job 18:5-6; 21:17) ..."
