Wesley: 2Sa 7:11 - -- Nor as they did under the judges. But all this is to be understood with a condition, except they should notoriously forsake God.

Nor as they did under the judges. But all this is to be understood with a condition, except they should notoriously forsake God.

That is, and as until this time in which I have given thee rest. But these words, though according to our translation they be enclosed in the same parenthesis with the foregoing clauses, may be better put without it, and taken by themselves. For the foregoing words in this verse, and in 2Sa 7:10, all concern the people of Israel; but these words concern David alone, to whom the speechs returns after a short digression concerning the people of Israel. And they may be rendered thus.

Wesley: 2Sa 7:11 - -- More fully and perfectly than yet thou dost.

More fully and perfectly than yet thou dost.

Wesley: 2Sa 7:11 - -- For thy good intentions to make him an house, he will make thee an house, a sure house, that is, he will increase and uphold thy posterity, and contin...

For thy good intentions to make him an house, he will make thee an house, a sure house, that is, he will increase and uphold thy posterity, and continue thy kingdom in thy family.

JFB: 2Sa 7:11 - -- As a reward for his pious purpose, God would increase and maintain the family of David and secure the succession of the throne to his dynasty. [See on...

As a reward for his pious purpose, God would increase and maintain the family of David and secure the succession of the throne to his dynasty. [See on 1Ch 17:10].

Clarke: 2Sa 7:11 - -- The Lord - will make thee a house - Thou hast in thy heart to make me a house; I have it in my heart to make thee a house: thy family shall be built...

The Lord - will make thee a house - Thou hast in thy heart to make me a house; I have it in my heart to make thee a house: thy family shall be built up, and shall prosper in the throne of Israel; and thy spiritual posterity shall remain for ever. God is the author of all our holy purposes, as well as of our good works, he first excites them; and if we be workers together with him, he will crown and reward them as though they were our own, though he is their sole author.

TSK: 2Sa 7:11 - -- since : Jdg 2:14-16; 1Sa 12:9-11; Psa 106:42 have caused : 2Sa 7:1; Job 5:18, Job 5:19, Job 34:29; Psa 46:9 he will make : 2Sa 7:27; Exo 1:21; 1Ki 2:2...

Nor as they did under the judges, neither so oft nor so long. But all this is to be understood with a condition, except they should notoriously forsake God, or rebel against him; which being so oft declared by God in other places it was needless to mention it here. Or this may relate to the latter ages of the world, when the people of Israel shall be converted to Christ, and recalled out of captivity, and planted in their own place; when they shall enjoy a far greater degree of tranquillity than ever they did before. And this agrees best with the future tense,

I will appoint— and will plant them & c.; otherwise the work was already done, God had already appointed this land for them, and actually planted them in it.

And have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies i. e. and until this time in which I have given thee rest. But these words, though according to our translation they be enclosed in the same parenthesis with the foregoing clauses, may seem to be better put without it, and to be taken by themselves. For the foregoing words in this verse, and in 2Sa 7:10 , do all concern the people of Israel; but these words seem to concern David alone, to whom the speech returns after a short digression concerning the people of Israel. And they may be rendered either thus, and I have caused thee to rest , &c., or, and I will cause thee to rest , &c., to wit, more fully and perfectly than vet thou dost.

He will make thee an house for thy good intentions to make him an house, he will make thee an house , to wit, a sure house , as is expressed, 1Ki 11:38 , i. e. he will increase and uphold thy posterity, and continue thy kingdom in thy family.

Haydock: 2Sa 7:11 - -- House, or give thee children, who shall hold the sceptre. (Menochius)

House, or give thee children, who shall hold the sceptre. (Menochius)

And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel,.... Before the time the judges were raised they were greatly afflicted by one nation or another around them, and between judge and judge, but now they should be no more so; here the parenthesis should end:

and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies; this belongs to David personally, and intends the same as in 2Sa 7:1,

also the Lord telleth thee, that he will make thee an house; not only build up his family, and make that numerous, but establish the house of his kingdom, as the Targum; that whereas he was desirous of building an house for God, God would build up an house for him; which would be a clear proof, that though he did not think fit to make use of him in the building of his house, yet he was not cast out of his favour, nor was it to be so interpreted by himself or others.
