2 Samuel 7:15

15 pero mi misericordia no se apartará de él, como la aparté de Saúl, al cual quité de delante de ti

2 Samuel 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 Samuel 7:15 In-Context

13 El edificará casa a mi nombre, y yo afirmaré para siempre el trono de su reino

14 Yo le seré a él padre, y él me será a mí hijo. Y si él cometiere iniquidad, yo le castigaré con vara de hombres, y con azotes de hijos de hombres

15 pero mi misericordia no se apartará de él, como la aparté de Saúl, al cual quité de delante de ti

16 Y será afirmada tu casa y tu reino para siempre delante de tu rostro; y tu trono será firme eternalmente

17 Conforme a todas estas palabras, y conforme a toda esta visión, así habló Natán a David
