SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:19
Con todo eso, el SEÑOR no quiso cortar a Judá, por amor de David su siervo, como le había prometido darle lámpara de sus hijos perpetuamente.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 8:19
Verse 19. To give him alway a light] To give him a successor in his own family.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 19. Yet the Lord would not destroy Judah for David his servant’s sake , etc.] Not for his merits, but for the mercy he assured him of: as he promised him to give to him always a light, [and] to his children ; or a kingdom, as the Targum; therefore he would not utterly destroy the tribe, nor suffer the sceptre or government to depart from it till the Messiah came, (see <19D211> Psalm 132:11,17).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 16-24 - A general idea is given of Jehoram's badness. His father, no doubt, ha him taught the true knowledge of the Lord, but did ill to marry him to the daughter of Ahab; no good could come of union with an idolatrou family.
