2 Samuel 7:7

Listen to 2 Samuel 7:7
7 E em todo lugar em que tenho andado com todos os filhos de Israel, falei porventura, alguma palavra a qualquer das suas tribos a que mandei apascentar o meu povo de Israel, dizendo: por que nĂŁo me edificais uma casa de cedro?

2 Samuel 7:7 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 7:7

In all [the places] wherein I have walked with all the children
of Israel (See Gill on 2 Samuel 7:6) on the places mentioned there:

spake I a word with any of the tribes of Israel;
or rather the sceptres of Israel; so the word is rendered, ( Genesis 49:10 ) ; the sceptre bearers, rulers, and governors, whose custom was to carry a sceptre in their hands, as Ben Melech observes; and so in a parallel text, ( 1 Chronicles 17:6 ) , it is, "to any of the judges of Israel"; any of those from the times of Moses and Joshua to the times of Saul and David, and this is confirmed by what follows:

whom I commanded to feed my people Israel;
that is, to rule and govern them, protect and defend them, which cannot be said of the tribes, but of the rulers of them; and the Lord asks this question, whether ever he had said a word to any of those, in all that space of time, expressing anything of this kind:

saying, why build ye not me an house of cedar?
they never were bid to do it, or expostulated with why they did not, or ever reproved for not doing it; therefore why should David think of doing it?

2 Samuel 7:7 In-Context

5 Vai, e dize a meu servo Davi: Assim diz o Senhor: Edificar-me-ás tu uma casa para eu nela habitar?
6 Porque em casa nenhuma habitei, desde o dia em que fiz subir do Egito os filhos de Israel até o dia de hoje, mas tenho andado em tenda e em tabernáculo.
7 E em todo lugar em que tenho andado com todos os filhos de Israel, falei porventura, alguma palavra a qualquer das suas tribos a que mandei apascentar o meu povo de Israel, dizendo: por que nĂŁo me edificais uma casa de cedro?
8 Agora, pois, assim dirás ao meu servo Davi: Assim diz o Senhor dos exércitos: Eu te tomei da malhada, de detrás das ovelhas, para que fosses príncipe sobre o meu povo, sobre Israel;
9 e fui contigo, por onde quer que foste, e destruí a todos os teus inimigos diante de ti; e te farei um grande nome, como o nome dos grandes que há na terra.
