But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that He would place one of his descendants on his throne.
Peter stood up with the eleven to silence the mockers and show he was no drunkard. His sermon alone is recorded, but all the hundred and twenty likely preached too; three thousand were converted that day. Mark this: he who once denied Christ in fear now confesses Him with a courage that proves his full recovery and restoration to God's favor.

Commenting on Acts 2:14-36
David was a prophet who foretold Christ's sufferings, death, resurrection, ascension, and session at God's right hand. God swore to him that from his loins would come One to sit upon his throne, and Peter rightly calls him prophet.
AI summary
David was inspired and foretold future events; God had sworn to him that the Messiah would descend from his body and sit on his throne. The New Testament writers understood these promises as referring to the Messiah, though they had immediate reference to Solomon's line.
