The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 17:9
All the verbs of this verse are in the same tense as those of the foregoing verse, which are correctly translated. For an expression similar to the last clause of the verse, Neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, may be found in Psalms 89:22 . read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 17:10
This verse should read on continuously with the preceding, as far as to the word "enemies." The time here denoted will stretch from the people's occupation of the laud to the death of Saul, as the expression, "at the beginning," in 1 Chronicles 17:9 , will point to the experience of Egyptian oppression. Will build thee an house ; i.e. will guarantee thee an unfailing line of descendants. read more

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

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 17:13
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 17:10. Furthermore I tell thee, &c. Must he think that his purpose was in vain, and that he should lose the reward of it? No: it being God’s act that prevented the execution of it, he shall be as fully recompensed as if it had been done. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Chronicles 17:14
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

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 17:7
I took thee . (So 1 Samuel 16:11 , 1 Samuel 16:12 ; 2 Samuel 7:8 ; Psalms 78:1-72 :80.) The sheepcote . The Hebrew נָזֶה strictly signifies a resting or place of resting. Hence the habitation of men or of animals, and in particular the pasture in which flocks lie down and rest ( Psalms 23:2 , plural construction; Job 5:24 ; Hosea 9:13 ; Jeremiah 23:3 ; Jeremiah 49:20 ). The sheepcote was sometimes a tower, with roughly built high wall, exposed to the sky at the top,... read more
