What does 1 Kings 8:25 mean?

'Now, Lord, God of Israel, keep the promise You made to my father David when You said, “You’ll always have a descendant sitting on Israel’s throne, if your children are careful to live as I’ve taught them.”' 1 Kings 8:25 - Modern Text Bible

(Solomon asks God to continue fulfilling His promise, but he knows it depends on the faithfulness of David’s descendants.)
