PROOF OF THE GOSPEL 6.12 · Written before 339.

This [passage quoted, 1 Kings 8:26-27] is also found in the same words in Chronicles. God then promised David he would raise up a king from his body and would be his father, so that the offspring of the seed of David should be called the Son of God and should have his throne in an eternal kingdom.

This site's exposition

a man of rest

on 1 Chronicles 22:9-10

The son not yet born is named before he is named: a man of rest, for I will give him rest from all his enemies round about, for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days. The wordplay sits on the surface of the Hebrew, Solomon and shalom sharing one root, so the promise and the name are the same word twice. Verse 10 then retells the covenant of 2 Sam 7:13-14 in the son's own hearing, he shall be my son and I will be his father, the sonship language Heb 1:5 quotes of Christ.

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.

The Nineteenth Century2 voices

For the names of Solomon, compare 2Sa 12:24 note. The former name prevailed, probably on account of this prophecy, which attached to the name the promise of a blessing.

His name shall be Solomon - שלמה Shelomoh, from שלם shalam, he was peaceable; and therefore, says the Lord, alluding to the name, I will give Peace, שלום Shalom, in his days.
