2 Samuel 7:12 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 7:12

And when thy days be fulfilled
The days of his life, which were appointed by the Lord for him to live, and when he had filled up the common term of man's life, as he exactly did; for he lived just seventy years, see ( 2 Samuel 5:4 ) ( Psalms 90:10 ) ;

and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers;
die and be buried; for this is a phrase expressive of death, and the grave the common portion of men:

I will set up thy seed after thee;
sons to succeed in the kingdom, as they did for the space of five hundred years; though here it respects one particular seed or son, even Solomon, as appears by what follows:

which shall proceed out of thy bowels;
be begotten by him, and born unto him, and has regard to a future son of his not yet born; not Absalom nor Adonijah, nor any of the rest born in Hebron were to succeed him in the kingdom, but one as yet unborn:

and I will establish his kingdom;
so that he shall have a long and happy reign, as Solomon had.

2 Samuel 7:12 In-Context

10 Le daré una patria a mi pueblo Israel y lo estableceré en un lugar seguro donde nunca será molestado. Las naciones malvadas no lo oprimirán como lo hicieron en el pasado,

11 cuando designé jueces para que gobernaran a mi pueblo Israel; y te daré descanso de todos tus enemigos.
»”Además, el Señor
declara que construirá una casa para ti, ¡una dinastía de reyes!

12 Pues cuando mueras y seas enterrado con tus antepasados, levantaré a uno de tus hijos de tu propia descendencia y fortaleceré su reino.

13 Él es quien edificará una casa —un templo— para mi nombre, y afirmaré su trono real para siempre.

14 Yo seré su padre, y él será mi hijo. Si peca, lo corregiré y lo disciplinaré con vara, como lo haría cualquier padre.
