Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Chronicles 17:1-27

CRITICAL NOTES.] This chapter coincides with 2 Samuel 7:0—records David’s purpose to build a house for God (1 Chronicles 17:1-2), and Nathan’s approval. God refuses to permit this, promises a perpetual kingdom in David’s line (1 Chronicles 17:3-15); grateful response to this promise (1 Chronicles 17:16-27).1 Chronicles 17:1-2.—David’s purpose. Sat in splendour and rest. Curtains as a common tent. David probably fancied the time predicted (Deuteronomy 12:10-11) had come. Nathan followed his own... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 17:1-27

Chapter 17And Nathan the prophet said, [Good,] do all that is in your heart; for God is with thee. And it came to pass the same night, that the Lord spoke to Nathan the prophet, and said, Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not build me a house to dwell in: for I have not dwelt in an house since the day that I brought up Israel unto this day; but I have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another. Wheresoever I have walked with all Israel, did I ever... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Chronicles 17:1-27

REFLECTIONS. In a temporal view the promise made to David, that his house should for ever fill the throne of Israel, must be regarded as a branch of the great national covenant, and consequently subject to the same conditions. How else shall we harmonize it with the chasms which frequently happened in the government under the Asmonæn family after the captivity. But in a spiritual view, if we refer it to Christ, as we are taught to do in the new testament, Luke 1:33, we see its full... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 1 Chronicles 17:11-14

1Ch 17:11 And it shall come to pass, when thy days be expired that thou must go [to be] with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom. Ver. 11-14. An excellent text and testimony both for the person of Christ and for his kingdom. Note this both against the Papists, who deny the perfection of the holy Scriptures; and the Anabaptists, who deny that the Old Testament ought to be read: for who can rightly understand why and... read more
