The line of kings shown to Macbeth in his vision are intended to imply that Banquo's descendants will not only be kings but will be kings for ever. Naturally this was a polite flattery to King James, who was supposedly one of them. Anyway, Macbeth gets the point, although why it should distress him as much as it does is puzzling.
