2 Samuel 7:16

WEB

Your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before you. Your throne shall be established forever."'"

KJV

And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.

Commentary

And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee,.... That is, both his family and his government should be perpetuated, o r he should always have one of his family to sit upon his throne; the accomplishment of which, in the beginning of it, he saw with his eyes in his son Solomon, and with an eye of faith in his greater Son the Messiah, in whom only these words will have their complete fulfilment; and so Abarbinel says this vision or prophecy is explained by some of the days of the Messiah; and this house and kingdom, in Ch1 17:14 ; are called by the Lord "my" house, and "my" kingdom: thy throne shall be established for ever; which is a repetition of the same in other words for the confirmation of it.
