God made a covenant (mentioned in Psalms 89) with David that the Jewish kings would come from his descendants.
Covenants are contracts between God and mankind. They are consistent and ever-enlarging beginning from the Noahic Covenant, the Abrahamic Covenant, the Mosaic Covenant (aka Sinai Covenant), the Davidic Coventant, and the capstone or culminating New Covenant. Though men break covenants, God keeps His promises.
Davidic means of or pertaining to David. The Davidic kingdom was the kingdom of King David. The Davidic psalms are those that are attributed to King David.
I believe there were at least 5 covenants God made with Israel. The Abrahamic covenant (Gen.12), the Mosaic Law Code (Ex. 20, Gal. 3), the Palestinian Covenant (Deut. 30), the Davidic Covenant ( (2 Samuel 7), and the New Covenant.

The ark of the covenant is important to the Hebrews because it symbolizes the presence of God among them and serves as a connection between God and his people. It contains the tablets of the Ten Commandments and represents the covenant made between God and the Israelites. Additionally, the ark is associated with miracles and divine protection in Hebrew scripture.
There are several covenants mentioned in the Bible, but the main ones include the covenant with Noah (Genesis 9), the covenant with Abraham (Genesis 15), the covenant with Moses (Exodus 19-24), and the new covenant through Jesus Christ (Luke 22).
Several, for example the Ark of the Covenant. Very important in the Covenant religion and in Christianity as well.
The most important part of God's promise to Abraham was the verse "And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your seed after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto you and to your seed after you" (Genesis 17:7).
Psalm
It is at the very center of Judaism, or rather, it is the central defining feature of Judaism. First note that the Hebrew Scriptures discuss several covenants, the covenant of the rainbow made with Noah and his sons, the covenant of the parts made with Abraham are examples. However, when someone says "the covenant" they are usually asking about the covenant made between God and the Children of Israel at Siani. Jews traditionally hold that the entire Torah (quibbling about the final verses) is the product of that covenant and that all 613 commandments found in the Torah are part of this covenant.
Because they ensure our survival and our connection to God. Learning and obeying these texts are our part of keeping our covenant with God. See also:The texts of JudaismThe covenant
