撒母耳記下 7:23-24 RCUVTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 2 Samuel 7:18-29

We have here the solemn address David made to God, in answer to the gracious message God had sent him. We are not told what he said to Nathan; no doubt he received him very kindly and respectfully as God's messenger. But his answer to God he took himself, and did not send by Nathan. When ministers deliver God's message to us, it is not to them, but to God, that our hearts must reply; he understands the language of the heart, and to him we may come boldly. David had no sooner received the... read more

And what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel ,.... For the knowledge and worship of the true God among them, for laws and or given them, and for blessings of goodness bestowed upon them: whom God went to redeem for a people to himself ; the words are plural, "whom the gods went to redeem"; the Targum is,"they that were sent from the Lord,'meaning Moses and Aaron, of whom Jarchi interprets them, of the first of which it is said, "I have made thee a god unto... read more

For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever ,.... So long as they were obedient to him, and observed his laws and statutes, and abode by his worship and ordinances, otherwise he would write a "loammi" on them, as he has, see Hosea 1:9 , and thou, Lord, art become their God ; their covenant God, they having avouched him to be their God, and he having avouched them to be his people, Deuteronomy 26:17 . read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 7:12-29

The facts are: 1 . The prophet declares to David 2 . David, in response to the message, acknowledges ,the condescension and bounty of God in what he had done and promised. 3 . He confesses that all is of the free unmerited loving kindness of God, and regards this wonderful superhuman goodness as being an illustration of the existence of a love transcending all that is known to man. 4 . He recognizes the blessedness of Israel in being under the care and guidance of One so... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 7:18-24

( 1 Chronicles 17:16-22 ). ( THE TABERNACLE ON ZION .) Thanksgiving and praise. The duty of rendering thanksgiving and praise to God is seldom disputed, though its performance is often neglected. It is beneficial to the offerer himself, as well as to others. The conduct and language of David, on receiving the Divine communication here recorded, famish an admirable example of the spirit in which "the sacrifice of thanksgiving" should be presented. I. DEEP HUMILITY ... read more

And what one nation, etc.? The translation should be, And who is like thy people, like Israel, the one nation upon earth which God went to redeem for himself to be his people, and to make for him a name, etc.? Israel both was and remains to this day a nation unique in its history, both in those early dealings of God with it, and also in its later history and its marvellous preservation unto this day. It is remarkable that in this place the word for "God," Elohim, is followed by a verb... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 7:23-24

The blessedness of God's people. The thought of the greatness of God, in contrast with other objects of worship, naturally leads to that of the happiness of the people to whom he has revealed himself, and on whose behalf he has shown his greatness by his works. Israel was thus blessed above all other nations; Christians inherit the same blessedness with large increase. The people of God are distinguished above all others by— I. THEIR REDEMPTION . ( 2 Samuel 7:23 .) 1 . The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 7:24

For thou hast confirmed. The word means "thou hast firmly and securely established Israel to "be thy people." This plainly refers to [he settlement in Canaan, now at last completed by David's victories, and not to the deliverance from Egypt. In the words that follow David recognizes the spiritual importance, not only of the permanent continuance of his house, but also of the empire given unto him. For Israel is now to be a people forever: and thou, Jehovah, art become their God. It is very... read more

2 Samuel 7:23. What one nation in the earth, &c. He seems to have in view the words of Moses in Deuteronomy 4:7; Deuteronomy 4:34. To make him a name That all the world might know and acknowledge his power and glory. To do for you great things and terrible, &c. Instead of, for you, the Seventy, Vulgate, and Arabic read, for them.
