1 Chronicles 17:27 NIV

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 1 Chronicles 17:11-27

David Accepts God's Promises With Thankfulness v. 10. Furthermore I tell thee that the Lord will build thee an house. (Cf with the entire passage 2 Samuel 7:12-Joel :, and note that the peculiarity of prophecy to combine thoughts near at hand with those afar off is very marked in this paragraph. ) v. 11. And it shall come to pass, when thy days be expired that thou must go to be with thy fathers, to await the great resurrection of the dead, that I will raise up thy Seed after thee, which... read more

The Purpose of David to build a Temple, and the Objection raised by the Prophet Nathan: 1 Chronicles 17:01 Chronicles 17:1 And it came to pass, as David sat in his house, he said unto Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in a house of cedars, and the ark of the covenant of the 2Lord is under curtains. And Nathan said unto David, Do all that is in thine heart; for God is with thee. 3And it came to pass in that night, that the word of 4the Lord came to Nathan, saying, Go and say unto David my... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 17:1-27

The presence of the Ark in the city seems to have created in David the desire to provide for it a permanent and more worthy resting place. He declared his desire to Nathan. The prophet, acting without divine consultation, charged him to go forward. It was a perfectly natural piece of advice, as on the surface the desire of David would necessarily appear to be absolutely commendable. Both prophet and king, however, had to learn that God's ways are not man's ways. David was brought into the... read more

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

Joseph Sutcliffe

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
