1 Chronicles 17:7-15

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 17:11

The promise is now, not to "David and his seed," but to David personally. The verse contains, no doubt, the original of the Apostle Peter's quotation ( Acts 2:29 , Acts 2:30 ; see also Acts 13:34 ; Luke 1:32 , Luke 1:33 ). The last clause of this verse has Solomon, for the object of its pronoun "his." read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 17:12-14

The reference of these promises was also to Solomon, and to him they were faithfully fulfilled. They were early perceived to be prophecies also, and of the highest significance and application ( Psalms 89:26-37 ; Isaiah 9:7 ; Isaiah 55:3 , Isaiah 55:4 ; Jeremiah 23:5 , Jeremiah 23:6 ; Jeremiah 33:17-21 ; Zechariah 6:12 , Zechariah 6:13 ; Hebrews 1:5 ; Hebrews 3:6 ). The alternative of the "son who commits iniquity" ( 2 Samuel 7:14 ) is omitted from the middle of our... read more

My son - The minatory clause which occurs after this in Samuel is here omitted, because the writer is not about to record the sins of Solomon, or the sufferings 1 Kings 11:9-40 which he thereby brought upon himself. read more

1 Chronicles 17:14. I will settle him in my house In my dwelling-place, 1st, In Jerusalem, the place where God had put his name for ever; or, 2d, In the temple, which is more properly and constantly called God’s house; and so this expression agrees but very imperfectly with Solomon or his successors; who might, indeed, be said to be settled in God’s house, because they dwelt near it, and, in some sort, were set over it; and because they were to take care that the priests and others should... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 17:1-27

Plans for a permanent house (16:37-17:27)On being brought to Jerusalem, the ark had been placed in a tent that David prepared for it (see v. 1). David appointed temple servants to remain with the ark to guide the worship, apparently under the direction of the senior priest, Abiathar. The other chief priest, Zadok, was in charge of the worship at the tabernacle, which was still at Gibeon (37-43).One reason why David did not shift the tabernacle from Gibeon was that he was planning to build a... read more
