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

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

He shall build an house for my name. ] Solomon, a material temple; Christ, a mystical - that is, the Church, which is the house of God. 1Ti 3:15 The Jews say that the Messiah is to build a temple, but then it must be a material one: and therefore in their daily prayers they call hard for his coming, and they cry altogether to God, Templum tuum brevi, valde cito, valde cito in diebus... read more
