Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Samuel 7:8-17

Rather Than David Building Him A House, YHWH Would Build David A House Of A Very Different Kind (2 Samuel 7:8-17 ). YHWH then assured ‘His servant David’ that He had greater purposes than the building of houses of cedar. Rather He was intending to build David’s house (his descendants and dynasty) into an everlasting house that would rule over His everlasting kingdom for ever. This was the House that YHWH had in mind. There are three basic elements to His promise: The first is that David... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Samuel 7:1-29

2 Samuel 7. David Proposes to Build a Temple for the Ark but Yahweh Prefers to Dwell in a Tent, as heretofore. He Promises David that his Dynasty shall always Occupy the Throne (D).— An independent narrative, complete in itself; not from any of the main sources, but probably composed towards the close of the Jewish Monarchy by a writer of the Deuteronomic school. 2 Samuel 7:13, referring to Solomon and his Temple, is a later addition. This Divine promise of permanence to the Davidic dynasty... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Samuel 7:12

When thy days be fulfilled; when the time of thy life shall expire. This phrase implies that his days shall be completed and prolonged to the usual course and stint of nature, and not out off in the midst, by any violent or untimely death. I will set up thy seed after thee; I will set up in thy stead and throne thy posterity, first Solomon, and then others successively, and at last the Messias. So the following words may be understood diversely, part of his posterity in general or indefinitely... read more

CRITICAL AND EXPOSITORY NOTES—2 Samuel 7:11. “And as since,” etc. The first clause of this verse should be connected with 2 Samuel 7:10, thus, neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as before and as since, or from the day, etc.2 Samuel 7:8-11. “The connection between these verses and 2 Samuel 7:5-7 is as follows: Thou shalt not build a house for Me, but I, who have from the very beginning glorified myself in thee and my people, will build a house for thee.… The kingdom... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 7:1-29

Chapter 7Now it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the LORD had given him rest round about from all of his enemies; [Now he's established, he's strong, he's powerful.] That the king said unto Nathan the prophet, Look I'm dwelling in a house of cedar, but the ark of God is dwelling there in the curtains. Nathan said to the king, Go, and do all that is in your heart; for the Lord is with you ( 2 Samuel 7:1-3 ).Now David is expressing his desire to Nathan to build a house for God.... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 2 Samuel 7:1-29

2 Samuel 7:1 . When the king sat in his house, and began to feel the approaches of age, he was more concerned for the ark than for himself. All men, but especially the aged, should do their best for religion. 2 Samuel 7:3 . Go, do all that is in thy heart. Here the Lord’s thoughts were not as Nathan’s; and here is the hallowed distinction which must ever be preserved between the revelations of God, and the ordinary thoughts of inspired men. We find Samuel, and Jonah, and others, exactly... read more

2 Samuel 7:1-17I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains. Proposal to build a temple1. The spirit of David was essentially active and fond of work. Even in Eastern countries, with their proverbial stillness and conservatism, such men are sometimes found, but they are far more common elsewhere. Great undertakings do not frighten them; they have spirit enough for a lifetime of effort, they never seem weary of pushing on. When they look on the disorders of the... read more

2 Samuel 7:5-17Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in? Folded hands1. Let us understand that a purpose may be good, yet Providence may see fit to deny its accomplishment. That is to say, God may take the will for the deed. We may work up a sort of personal enthusiasm, and because the end appears right in our eyes, may expect that Providence will immediately accept it; but, the question is not whether the plan is good, but whether it is God’s plan for us in which to serve Him. These... read more

2 Samuel 7:8-17Go, do all that is in thine heart.Divine correction of a prophet’s mistake and Divine denial of a king’s desire1. It is pleasant to glance at the circumstances which gave birth to David’s desire to build the temple. The regal position into which he passed on the death of Saul was no bed of roses. The land was still over-run by the Philistines, who held many of its strongest fortresses. Jerusalem was in the hands of the Jebusites. There was hard and long-lasting work to be done,... read more

2 Samuel 7:11-16The Lord telleth thee that he will make thee an house. God’s covenant with David1. This narrative is an interesting illustration of the truth that God will honour the man who seeks to honour Him. David wanted to build a house for the Lord, and he was moved to it, we have reason to believe, by the highest considerations. He determined that he would build a house for the Lord, and as far as possible make it worthy of Him. But David, because he had been a man of war, was not... read more
