The word "house" is a metonym for the family that lives in the house. In this case it refers to the kingdom of Judah. See how you translated this in Jeremiah 3:18. AT: "the kingdom of Judah" or "the people of Israel" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)

"he had promised that David's descendants would always be the ones who ruled Judah." This was the covenant that Yahweh made with David.
