2 Samuel 7:28 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 7:28

And now, O Lord God, thou [art] that God
Who is the Lord of hosts, and the God of Israel, that has promised and is able to perform, and is faithful to his promise:

and thy words be true;
are truly, punctually, and faithfully performed, never fail:

and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant;
concerning building and establishing his house. David repeats this promise as being greatly affected with it, and fully assured of the performance of it.

2 Samuel 7:28 In-Context

26 Then your reputation will flourish always as people exclaim, 'The God-of-the-Angel-Armies is God over Israel!' And the house of your servant David will remain sure and solid in your watchful presence.
27 For you, God-of-the-Angel-Armies, Israel's God, told me plainly, 'I will build you a house.' That's how I was able to find the courage to pray this prayer to you.
28 "And now, Master God, being the God you are, speaking sure words as you do, and having just said this wonderful thing to me,
29 please, just one more thing: Bless my family; keep your eye on them always. You've already as much as said that you would, Master God! Oh, may your blessing be on my family permanently!"
