2 KINGS 8:19 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“Yet the Lord would not destroy Judah for David his servant’s sake, as he promised him to give him alway a light, and to his children.”
Yet the LORD was not willing to destroy Judah, for the sake of David his servant, as he had promised him that he would always have a lamp before him — God's covenant with David (2 Samuel 7) extends mercy to his unworthy descendant. The dynastic promise preserves Judah despite Jehoram's evil.
