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.

Taken from John Gill's Exposition of the Bible

2 Samuel 7:28 In-Context

26 And your name will be magnified forever, saying, 'The LORD of hosts is God over Israel,' and the house of your servant David will be established before you.
27 For you, O LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have made this revelation to your servant, saying, 'I will build you a house.' Therefore your servant has found courage to pray this prayer to you.
28 And now, O Lord GOD, you are God, and your words are true, and you have promised this good thing to your servant.
29 Now therefore may it please you to bless the house of your servant, so that it may continue forever before you. For you, O Lord GOD, have spoken, and with your blessing shall the house of your servant be blessed forever."
