1 Chronicles 22:10 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 22:10

He shall build an house for my name
For the worship of God, and for his honour and glory:

and he shall be my son, and I will be his father;
see ( 2 Samuel 7:13 2 Samuel 7:14 ) and which is applied to Christ, ( Hebrews 1:5 )

and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever;
that is, for a long time in his posterity; and which will have its fulfilment in Christ, his antitype, in the utmost sense of the expression, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his throne for ever and ever, ( Luke 1:32 Luke 1:33 ) ( Hebrews 1:8 ) .

1 Chronicles 22:10 In-Context

8 But the word of Jehovah came to me saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build a house unto my name, for thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.

9 Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about; for his name shall be Solomon, and in his days I will give peace and quietness unto Israel.

10 He shall build a house unto my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever.

11 Now, my son, Jehovah be with thee, that thou mayest prosper, and build the house of Jehovah thy God, as he has said of thee.

12 Only, Jehovah give thee wisdom and understanding, and place thee over Israel, and to keep the law of Jehovah thy God.
