2 Samuele 7:15

15 ma la mia grazia non si dipartirà da lui, come s’è dipartita da Saul, ch’io ho rimosso d’innanzi a te.

2 Samuele 7:15 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 7:15

But my mercy shall not depart away from him
Which is not to be understood of special mercy and grace, though it is true of these with respect to Solomon, and so to all the adopted children of God, see ( Psalms 89:32 Psalms 89:33 ) ; but then this here designs such mercy as may be taken away from another, and as it was from Saul, as it follows:

as I took [it] from Saul, whom I put away before thee;
and therefore must be understood of his mercy and kindness, in giving him a kingdom, and setting him on the throne; this should not be taken away from him, as it was from Saul, whom God rejected from being king; not him personally, but his posterity; but so the Lord would not do, nor did he, to Solomon, in whose posterity the kingdom of Judah continued to the Babylonish captivity.

2 Samuele 7:15 In-Context

13 Egli edificherà una casa al mio nome, ed io renderò stabile in perpetuo il trono del suo regno.
14 Io sarò per lui un padre, ed egli mi sarà figliuolo; e, se fa del male, lo castigherò con verga d’uomo e con colpi da figli d’uomini,
15 ma la mia grazia non si dipartirà da lui, come s’è dipartita da Saul, ch’io ho rimosso d’innanzi a te.
16 E la tua casa e il tuo regno saranno saldi per sempre, dinanzi a te, e il tuo trono sarà reso stabile in perpetuo".
17 Nathan parlò a Davide, secondo tutte queste parole e secondo tutta questa visione.
