Isaiah 22:20-25

20Then it will come to pass in that day That I will summon My servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah.

21And I will clothe him with your tunic [of distinction] And tie your sash securely around him. I will entrust him with your authority; He will become a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.

22Then I will set on his shoulder the key of the house of David; When he opens no one will shut, When he shuts no one will open.

23I will drive him like a peg in a firm place, And he will become a throne of honor and glory to his father’s house.

24So they will hang on him all the honor and glory [the complete responsibility] of his father’s house, offspring and issue [of the family, high and low], all the least of the articles, from the bowls to all the jars.

25In that day,” declares the Lord of hosts, “the peg (Eliakim) that was driven into the firm place will give way; it will even break off and fall, and the burden hanging on it will be cut off, for the Lord has spoken.”
