The covenant is made only with the Whole House of Israel (i.e. Israel and Judah) but the question should be asked, "Who is Israel and Judah?" I believe that Judah is the Jews, and Israel is both those descendants of the Northern Kingdom who repent AND those not of Israel at all (i.e. gentiles) who turn to the God of Israel. That is why Paul said of the Galatians, "you WERE gentiles in the flesh, WERE aliens of the Commonwealth of Israel, but are NOW fellow citizens." This idea isn't new, as Israel that came out of Egypt was made up of both Israel and the foreigners who came out of Egypt with them.Jesus's house is the house of Israel and for most part are descendants of the 12 tribes but for most part, numbering the sands of the sea their blood lines were not pure.
Also; Matthew 25:26 (NKJV)
26 But his lord answered and said to him, 'You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed.
