set him over My house and My kingdom

on 1 Chronicles 17:14-15

In 2 Sam 7:16 the promise is that David's own house and kingdom will endure forever. Chronicles has “I will set him over My house and My kingdom forever”. Jamieson, Fausset and Brown tie this to 28:5 and 29:23, where Solomon sits on the throne of the LORD.

all the words of this

Nathan relayed the words of the whole vision to David, the vision God gave him that night in verse 3. The message reverses Nathan's own quick answer to David in verse 2. Adam Clarke points to 2 Samuel 7 for it.
