Maybe you meant that kings would come from Abraham and you mean this is Part 3 of the Covenant w/ Abraham. But David and indeed Christ himself are kings and part of Abraham's seed.
The promise of Abraham to be the father of many nations is called an "everlasting covenant. Even the rite of circumcision is called an "everlasting covenant," fulfilled in baptism in the new covenant. The same language is said of Isaac--this is an everlasting covenant. The same phrase is used in the covenant w/ Abraham. There are many promises, all under one promise fulfilled by Christ the true Seed of Abraham.
I don't see any Part 3 of the covenant w/ Arbraham that is not part of the CofG. The CofW is fulfilled by Christ too. This should all be understood as Christ fulfilling the CofG--which is the covenant of promise (Eph 2:10ff).
