サムエル記Ⅱ 7:10-14 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 7:1-11

The facts are: 1 . David, being settled in his kingdom and furnished with a permanent place of abode, is dissatisfied that the ark of the Lord should remain in a frail tent. 2 . He sends for Nathan, and intimates his desire to build a fitting house for the Lord, and receives encouragement from the prophet. 3 . During a vision of the night Nathan is directed to inform David that his desire cannot be realized; that all along it had been God's will to move from place to place in a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 7:4-11

( 1 Chronicles 17:3-10 ). ( ZION .) A forbidden purpose. "Shalt thou build me a house for me to dwell in?" On reflection, the prophet, perhaps, felt some misgiving as to the wisdom of the counsel he had given to the king; and (in prayer) the same night (before any steps could be taken to carry it into effect) he received a Divine communication which he faithfully announced. The chief significance of this communication lies in the promise it contained with respect to "the house of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 7:10-11

Moreover I will appoint … will plant. For "moreover," the Hebrew has "and." The tenses also continue the same: "And I have appointed … and have planted." It is all part of the same act. As regards the second verb, the past tense alone makes sense. Jehovah was not about to plant Israel in a place of their own, hut had just done so completely. For David's kingdom had given them security, and with it the power of doing for God that duty which was Israel's special office in the world. Had the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 7:12

Thy seed … which shall proceed. As the son is to be established in the kingdom and to build the house, he must be Solomon, who plainly, therefore, was not as yet born (see note on 2 Samuel 7:1 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 7:12

( JERUSALEM .) The prospect of death. The view of earthly glory is apt to suggest, by contrast, the thought of its transitory duration, and no one can look forward to the days to come without having "the shadow of death" presented before his mind. Of its unavoidable approach, the message which David received, telling of his present prosperity and future prospects, reminded him. It is: 1 . An event of inevitable occurrence. "What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death?" ( ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 7:12-16

( 1 Chronicles 17:11-15 ). ( JERUSALEM .) The promise of an outlasting kingdom. "And thy house and thy kingdom shall be permanent; Thy throne shall be established forever." ( 2 Samuel 7:16 .) 1. The position of David was a very exalted one. He was the chosen earthly head of the theocracy, or kingdom of God; and on him rested the hope of its glorious consummation. He was the Lord's messiah—"the mediator through whom Jehovah dispensed help, safety, and blessing" (Riehm). 2... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 7:12-16

David's everlasting kingdom. These words relate, first, to Solomon; then to successive generations of David's posterity; and, finally, to the Christ. They promise that David's son should be God's son, and should build the house for God which David had desired to build. They promise also that the rule over Israel should continue in the line of David's posterity, and that his house and kingdom should be established forever. They were partly fulfilled in the long continuance of the reign of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 7:12-29

The facts are: 1 . The prophet declares to David 2 . David, in response to the message, acknowledges ,the condescension and bounty of God in what he had done and promised. 3 . He confesses that all is of the free unmerited loving kindness of God, and regards this wonderful superhuman goodness as being an illustration of the existence of a love transcending all that is known to man. 4 . He recognizes the blessedness of Israel in being under the care and guidance of One so... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 7:13

I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. The temple which Solomon was to build was the symbol of the new development of Israel, and naturally these words suggest a meaning not unworthy of so great an advance in the accomplishment of the nation's mission. Had we, indeed, only this passage, we might be content to take it in a popular sense, as signifying that, whereas Saul's throne (and subsequently that of the many usurpers in Samaria) had but a brief existence, Solomon's... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 7:14

I will be his Father, and he shall be my son. Between father and son there is not only love, but oneness. Whatsoever the father hath, that belongs also to the son by natural right. But this sonship is magnified in the Psalms beyond the measure of Solomon or any natural limits. The Son there is "the Firstborn," which Solomon was not, "higher than the kings of the earth" ( Psalms 89:27 ); and he must have "the nations for his inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for his... read more
