1 Chronicles 17:12-14 -
The reference of these promises was also to Solomon, and to him they were faithfully fulfilled. They were early perceived to be prophecies also, and of the highest significance and application ( Psalms 89:26-37 ; Isaiah 9:7 ; Isaiah 55:3 , Isaiah 55:4 ; Jeremiah 23:5 , Jeremiah 23:6 ; Jeremiah 33:17-21 ; Zechariah 6:12 , Zechariah 6:13 ; Hebrews 1:5 ; Hebrews 3:6 ). The alternative of the "son who commits iniquity" ( 2 Samuel 7:14 ) is omitted from the middle of our thirteenth verse. The latter half of 1 Chronicles 17:13 manifestly purports to say, "I will not take my mercy away from Solomon, as I did take it away from Saul." The close of our fourteenth verse is in the parallel place ( 2 Samuel 7:16 ) distinctly referred to David, with the use of the second person possessive pronoun.
