Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Chronicles 17:1-15

The promises of the Davidic Covenant 17:1-15The main reason God did not allow David to proceed with his plans to build Him a house (temple) was that God, not David, was sovereign. A secondary reason was that David was a man of war (1 Chronicles 22:8; 1 Chronicles 28:3). God reserved the right to choose who should build such a place, as well as when and where he should build it. It was inappropriate for David to decide these things, though his desire to honor God in this way was certainly... read more

E. God’s Covenant Promises to David chs. 17-29The dominating theme in 1 Chronicles is the Davidic Covenant, the receiving of which was the most important event in David’s life. God promised to give him an eternal kingdom, and He formalized that promise by making a covenant with him. The writer repeated three times that David’s descendants would be God’s instruments for bringing salvation to the nations.The Chronicler referred to the Davidic Covenant seven times in his book (1 Chronicles... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Chronicles 17:1

(1) Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house.—In both texts the story of this chapter naturally follows that of the removal of the Ark, although the events themselves appear to belong to a later period of David’s reign, “when the Lord had given him rest round about from all his enemies” (2 Samuel 7:1; comp. 1 Chronicles 17:8). 1 Chronicles 17:11-14 indicate some time before the birth of Solomon, but the date cannot be more exactly determined.David.—Thrice in 1 Chronicles 17:1-2, for which... read more

Cedar and Curtains 1 Chronicles 17:1-4 ; 1 Chronicles 17:10 'Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, "Lo, I dwell in an house of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of the Lord remaineth under curtains".' David is troubled by the disparity between his own surroundings and those of the Ark. I. We have here a somewhat unusual spectacle; this discontent arises with the king and not with the prophet; the political ruler, and not the spiritual... read more

7. The Covenant and the Promise CHAPTER 17 1. David’s plan to build a house (1 Chronicles 17:1-6 ) 2. The covenant and the promise (1 Chronicles 17:7-15 ) 3. David’s praise and prayer (1 Chronicles 17:16-27 ) After the ark had found its resting place in a tent the king became deeply concerned about the building of a house. He contrasted his own house of cedars with the humble dwelling place of the ark of the covenant. The desire to build a house for the Lord was expressed to Nathan, who... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 17:1-27

DAVID ’S REIGN THE DOWNFALL OF SAUL (1 Chronicles 10:0 ) In reading this chapter with whose general contents we became familiar in 1 Samuel 31:0 , it is important to note the inspired comment at its close (1 Chronicles 10:13-14 ). DAVID’S HEROES (1 Chronicles 11-12) In the history of David in this book, the writer dwells chiefly on its prosperous side, passing over the rest as lightly as possible. His anointing at Hebron (1 Chronicles 11:1-3 ) reveals nothing of what we learned earlier of... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 1 Chronicles 17:1-27

The Sanctification of Life 1 Chronicles 17:0 WHEN it is said that David "sat in his house," the literal meaning is that he "dwelt" there. To understand the whole action properly we must refer to the last verse of the preceding chapter, in which "David returned to bless his house." David then was dwelling in a sanctified house, and was under the influence of all the suggestions which are associated with such a habitation. We cannot sanctify any one point of life without the sanctifying... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Chronicles 17:1

CONTENTS This is a most interesting chapter, in that it brings before us a gracious interview between the Lord and his servant David, at throne of grace. David felt his heart prompted to build an house for God. He is forbidden to do it, but is told that his son shall. The chapter closes with his prayer and thanksgivings. 1 Chronicles 17:1 Before I enter upon this chapter, I beg to premise to the Reader, that as the contents of it, almost literally, hath been commented upon before, in 2 Samuel... read more
