2 Samuel 7:17 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 7:17

According to all these words, and according to all this
vision
All the words of this prophecy, just as they were delivered to Nathan, were exactly expressed by him; he did not vary from them in the least, but with the greatest faithfulness related them:

so did Nathan speak unto David;
though in the part which related to the history of the house of God, it was contrary to the advice which he had given; but he was not ashamed to retract his sense, when he was made acquainted with the mind of God.

16 Your royal house will remain in my presence forever. Your throne will be established forever.'"
