# A man from David's line will never be lacking

"There will always be a man from David's line"

# A man from David's line

a male descendant of King David

# to sit on the throne of the house of Israel

The throne is a metonym for the king. Alternate translation: "to be king over the house of Israel" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])

# the house of Israel

The word "house" is a metonym for the family that lives in the house. In this case it refers to the kingdom of Israel. See how you translated this in [Jeremiah 3:18](../03/18.md). Alternate translation: "Israel" or "the kingdom of Israel" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
