Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
I will be his father ... - In marginal reference the equivalent expressions are applied to David. In Heb 1:5, this text is applied to Christ. But in Ch1 17:13; Ch1 22:9-10; Ch1 28:6, it is expressly appropriated to Solomon.
With the rod of men ... - i. e. such a chastisement as men inflict upon their children, to correct and reclaim them, not to destroy them. The whole clause is omitted in Ch1 17:13. |
Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
His father - I will carry myself towards him as a father, with all affection, and I will own him as my son. This is intended both of Solomon, as a type of Christ; and of Christ himself as is evident from Heb 1:5. If he commit - This agrees only to Solomon and some others of David's posterity; but not to Christ, who never committed iniquity, as Solomon did, who therein was no type of Christ, and therefore this branch is terminated in Solomon; whereas in those things wherein Solomon was a type of Christ, the sense passes through Solomon to Christ. Rod of men - With such rods as are gentle and moderate, and suited to man's weakness. |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
If he commit iniquity - Depart from the holy commandment delivered to him; I will chasten him with the rod of men-he shall have affliction, but his government shall not be utterly subverted. But this has a higher meaning. See the observations at the end, Sa2 7:25 (note). |
