Commentary
1 note on this verseThis site's exposition
settle him in mine house and in my kingdom
on 1 Chronicles 17:14-15
Here the two accounts part pronouns rather than words. Samuel's oracle closes thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee, 2 Sam 7:16, David's own dynasty in David's own right; Chronicles has I will settle him in mine house and in my kingdom for ever, the throne turned explicitly into the LORD's own. Jamieson, Fausset and Brown read the change as the Chronicler stating outright, at the moment of the promise itself, what 28:5 and 29:23 will later say of Solomon in so many words, that he sits on the throne of the kingdom of the LORD. Nathan carries the whole vision back to David exactly as he received it, verse 15 closing the oracle before the king's prayer opens.
