The Davidic Covenant

(2 Samuel 7:10-16) forms the basis for the bulk of Messianic prophecies .

The covenant does not replace the Abrahamic and Sinaitic covenants, but is a further amplification of the dominion theme. The Seed of the woman, the Seed of Abraham, is also the Seed of David, a royal heir to the eternal throne.
The provisions are clear: God would appoint a place for the kingdom and the people would leave no more; sinners would not afflict them any more; God would build a house (dynasty) for David that would be eternal; David's kingdom would be established forever; David's throne would be established forever (the right to rule would never be removed); and David's son would build the temple.
The prophecy connects the Kingdom of God and the kingdom of David together forever. The angel said Jesus would take this throne forever (Lk 1:31-33); and Peter said it was to be fulfilled in Christ (Acts 2:30). It began to be fulfilled at the exaltation of Christ (the one born in the line of David being seated on the right hand of the Majesty on high); but according to Scriptures its actual fulfillment lies in the future ("thy kingdom come"). It is inconsistent to say the references to Solomon or to the Son of God in the covenant are literal, but the rest is spiritual or figurative.
Several of the psalms will put elements of the Davidic Covenant into poetry; and so the promises were never lost, even when they had to pray for God to raise up the horn of David .

I can only think of three.

Abraham - Covenant of God
Noah - Covenant to not drown the world again
Jesus - New Covenant of God

1.The Edenic Promise. Jehovah God, at Genesis 3:15 stated his purpose prophetically in the garden of Eden in the presence of Adam, Eve, and the “serpent.”

2.Covenant With Noah. Jehovah God made a covenant with Noah, who represented his family, with regard to His purpose to preserve human and animal life while destroying the wicked world of that day. (Genesis 6:17-21; 2Peter 3:6)

3.Rainbow Covenant. The rainbow covenant was made between Jehovah God and all flesh (human and animal), as represented by Noah and his family, in 2369 B.C.E., in the mountains of Ararat. Jehovah stated that he would never again destroy all flesh by means of a flood. The rainbow was then given as a sign of the covenant, which endures as long as mankind lives on earth, that is, forever.—Genesis 9:8-17; Psalms 37:29.

4.Covenant With Abraham. (Which you mentioned) The covenant with Abraham apparently went into effect when Abram (Abraham) crossed the Euphrates on his way to Canaan. The Law covenant was made 430 years later. (Galatians 3:17) Jehovah had spoken to Abraham when he was living in Mesopotamia, in Ur of the Chaldeans, telling him to travel to the country that God would show him. (Acts 7:2, 3; Genesis 11:31; 12:1-3) Exodus 12:40, 41 (LXX) tells us that at the end of 430 years of dwelling in Egypt and in the land of Canaan, “on this very day” Israel, who had been in slavery in Egypt, went out. The day they were delivered from Egypt was Nisan 14, 1513 B.C.E., the date of the Passover. (Exodus 12:2, 6, 7) This would seem to indicate that Abraham crossed the Euphrates River on his way to Canaan on Nisan 14, 1943 B.C.E., and evidently that is when the Abrahamic covenant took effect. God appeared to Abraham again after he had traveled into Canaan as far as Shechem and enlarged on the promise, saying, “To your seed I am going to give this land,” thereby giving an indication of the connection of this covenant with the promise in Eden, and revealing that the “seed” would take a human course, that is, would run through a human line of descent. (Genesis 12:4-7) Other enlargements by Jehovah were later expressed, as recorded at Genesis 13:14-17; 15:18; 17:2-8, 19; 22:15-18.

5.Covenant of Circumcision. The covenant of circumcision was made in 1919 B.C.E., when Abraham was 99 years old. Jehovah made the covenant with Abraham and his natural seed; all males of the household, including slaves, were to be circumcised; anyone refusing was to be cut off from his people. (Genesis 17:9-14)

6.Law Covenant. The Law covenant between Jehovah and the nation of natural Israel was made in the third month after their leaving Egypt, in 1513 B.C.E. (Exodus 19:1) It was a national covenant. One born a natural Israelite was, by birth, in the Law covenant and was thus in this special relationship with Jehovah.

7.Covenant With the Tribe of Levi. Jehovah made a covenant with the tribe of Levi, that the entire tribe should be set aside to constitute the tabernacle service organization, including the priesthood. This occurred in the wilderness of Sinai, in 1512 B.C.E. (Exodus 40:2, 12-16; Malachi 2:4)

8.Covenant With Israel at Moab. Just before Israel entered the Promised Land, in 1473 B.C.E., Jehovah made a covenant with natural Israel at Moab. (Deuteronomy 29:1; 1:3) Much of the Law was here restated and explained by Moses.

9.Covenant With King David. The covenant with David was made at some time during David’s reign in Jerusalem (1070-1038 B.C.E.), the parties being Jehovah and David as representative of his family. (2 Samuel 7:11-16) The terms of this covenant were that a son from David’s line would possess the throne forever, and that this son would build a house for Jehovah’s name. God’s purpose in this covenant was to provide a kingly dynasty for the Jews; to give Jesus, as David’s heir, the legal right to the throne of David, “Jehovah’s throne” (1 Chronicles 29:23; Luke 1:32); and to provide identification for Jesus as the Messiah. (Ezekiel 21:25-27; Matthew 1:6-16; Luke 3:23-31) This covenant included no priesthood; the Levitical priesthood served in conjunction with kings of David’s line; priesthood and kingship were strictly separate under the Law. Since Jehovah acknowledges this kingship and works through it forever, the covenant has everlasting duration.—Isaiah 9:7; 2 Peter 1:11.

10.Covenant to Be a Priest Like Melchizedek. This covenant is expressed at Psalm 110:4, and the writer of the Bible book of Hebrews applies it to Christ at Hebrews 7:1-3, 15-17. It is a covenant made by Jehovah with Jesus Christ alone. Jesus apparently referred to it when making a covenant for a kingdom with his followers. (Luke 22:29)

11.New Covenant. Jehovah foretold the new covenant by the prophet Jeremiah in the seventh century B.C.E., stating that it would not be like the Law covenant, which Israel broke. (Jeremiah 31:31-34) On the night before his death, Nisan 14, 33 C.E., when he established the celebration of the Lord’s Evening Meal, Jesus Christ announced the new covenant, to be validated by his sacrifice. (Luke 22:20) On the 50th day from his resurrection and 10 days after he had ascended to his Father, he poured out the holy spirit, which he had received from Jehovah, on his disciples gathered in an upper room in Jerusalem.—Acts 2:1-4, 17, 33; 2Co 3:6, 8, 9; Hebrews 2:3, 4.

12.Jesus’ Covenant With His Followers. On the night of Nisan 14, 33 C.E., after celebrating the Lord’s Evening Meal Jesus made this covenant with his faithful apostles. To the 11 faithful apostles he promised that they would sit on thrones. (Luke 22:28-30; compare 2 Timothy 2:12.) Later, he showed that this promise extended to all spirit-begotten ‘conquerors.’ (Revelation 3:21; see also Revelation 1:4-6; 5:9, 10; 20:6.)

13.+ 11 Various Other Covenants. (a) Joshua and the chieftains of Israel with the inhabitants of the city of Gibeon to let them live. Though they were cursed Canaanites, whom the Israelites were to destroy, yet a covenant was considered so binding that the Gibeonites were allowed to live, but the curse was carried out by making them gatherers of wood and drawers of water for the assembly of Israel. (Joshua 9:15, 16, 23-27) (b) Joshua with Israel to serve Jehovah. (Joshua 24:25, 26) (c) The older men of Gilead with Jephthah at Mizpah to make him head over the inhabitants of Gilead if Jehovah gave him victory over the Ammonites. (Judges 11:8-11) (d) Between Jonathan and David. (1 Samuel 18:3; 23:18) (e) Jehoiada the priest with the chiefs of the Carian bodyguard and of the runners. (2Ki 11:4; 2 Chronicles 23:1-3) (f) Israel with Jehovah to put away foreign wives. (Ezra 10:3) (g) Jehovah to give his servant as a covenant of (for) the people. (Isaiah 42:6; 49:8) (h) David with all the older men of Israel, at Hebron. (1 Chronicles 11:3) (i) A covenant of the people, during Asa’s reign, to search for Jehovah with all their heart and soul. (2 Chronicles 15:12) (j) Josiah with Jehovah to keep Jehovah’s commandments, according to the Law. (2 Chronicles 34:31) (k) The “braggarts” who ruled Jerusalem were erroneously thinking they were safe in “a covenant with Death.”—Isaiah 28:14, 1
