Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
The meaning is, "So far as this house goes, thou art obedient (Sa2 7:13; Ch1 17:12, etc.); if thou wilt be obedient in other things also, then will I perform My word," etc., God's promises being always conditional. The promises made to David were:
(1) that he should be succeeded by one of his sons Sa2 7:12; Psa 132:11;
(2) that the kingdom should be established in the line of his descendants forever, if they were faithful Psa 132:12; and
(3) that the Israelites should be no more afficted as beforetime Sa2 7:10.
These promises are now confirmed to Solomon, but on the express condition of obedience, and two further promises are added. |

Thus he was taught, that all the charge he and the people were at, in erecting this temple, would neither excuse them from obedience to the law of God, nor shelter them from his judgments in case of disobedience. |
