Seed refers to David's offspring and dynasty—not just one successor but a continuous line. Making seed endure forever is the ultimate dynastic promise: the royal house will not fail, will not be cut off, will continue through generations.
The throne lasting as the days of heaven is a metaphor for permanence beyond measure. Heaven is eternal and unchanging; a throne lasting as long as heaven lasts promises a perpetuity that transcends human calculation and expectation.
