Commentary

4 notes on this verse
He shall build an house for my name,.... For the worship of God, and for his honour and glory: and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; see 2Sa 7:13 and which is applied to Christ, Heb 1:5. and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever; that is, for a long time in his posterity; and which will have its fulfilment in Christ, his antitype, in the utmost sense of the expression, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his throne for ever and ever, Luk 1:32.

This site's exposition

a man of rest

on 1 Chronicles 22:9-10

The son not yet born is named in advance as “a man of rest”, and God promises “rest from all his enemies on every side”. Solomon and shalom share one Hebrew root. Verse 10 retells the covenant of 2 Samuel 7:13-14, words Hebrews 1:5 quotes of Christ.

This site's exposition

the one who will build

God names Solomon as the one to build. He promises to be Solomon's Father, and John Gill ties the words to 2 Samuel 7:13 and notes that Hebrews 1:5 applies them to Christ. Gill reads the throne forever as fulfilled in Christ, whose kingdom is everlasting, citing Luke 1:32.

proposed

Because God had promised to establish his kingdom. Let this encourage him to honour God, that God had honour in store for him; let him build up God's house, and God will build up his throne. Note, God's gracious promises should quicken and invigorate our religious service.
