Exegesis
The metaphor nir {נִיר | nîr} ‘lamp’ communicates continuing legitimacy and continuity of the royal line, reinforced by the duration phrase kol-hayamim {כָּל־הַיָּמִים | kōl-hayyāmîm} ‘all the days.’
In context — 2 Chronicles 21:7
Yet the LORD was not willing to destroy the house of David, for the sake of the covenant that He made with David, and as He said, to give him a lamp and to his sons for all the days.
