2:29
Peter then makes the obvious point that the words in Psalm 16 were not fulfilled in David. He was dead and buried, and they knew where his tomb was. However, this is a very important point in interpreting the Old Testament. So many of the promises in the Old Testament had clearly not been fulfilled, so there must be more to come. Now, in Christ many of them have been fulfilled, but there is still more to come, more to be fulfilled in Christ.
2:30
The fact that the promise in Psalm 16 did not mean that God was unfaithful, but that there was One to come in whom it would be fulfilled. Note also that David is referred to as a prophet. It is not just the Elijah’s, the Isaiah's and the Daniels who were prophets. The likes of Moses and David were also prophets. The One who was to come would be placed on the throne. Jesus is the true king of Israel.
