David's men were correct in saying that the lamp of Israel would not be extinguished, however, it was not because of their protection. If human hearts and hands had any thing to do with it, Israel would have lost it's protection long ago. But, God established a covenant with Abraham that would never be broken. God made a promise to David that would never be broken. And so, the covenant with Israel has continued until this day. There may have been many who tried to drive them to extinction, but it has never and will never happen.
And as far as the kingdom of David, Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this. - Isaiah 9:7 KJV
When God says the kingdom of David will live on, it will. It will not be protected by human hands. The zeal of the Lord will accomplish this.
