What does 2 Samuel 7:13 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
2 Samuel 7:13
He shall build an house for my name
For the honour of it, for the worship and service of God, as it
is well known Solomon did; and so his antitype the Messiah, (
Zechariah 6:12 Zechariah
6:13 ) ;
and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for
ever;
that is, for a long time. Solomon's reign was forty years, and
the kingdom of Judah continued in his posterity until the
Babylonish captivity, and a prince that descended from him was
the ruler of the people when they returned: this has its
fulfilment more eminently in Christ, who was of his seed, to whom
God has given "the throne of his father David", and who "shall
reign over the house of Jacob for ever", ( Luke 1:32 Luke 1:33 ) .
