2 Samuel 7:17 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 7:17

According to all these words, and according to all this
vision
All the words of this prophecy, just as they were delivered to Nathan, were exactly expressed by him; he did not vary from them in the least, but with the greatest faithfulness related them:

so did Nathan speak unto David;
though in the part which related to the history of the house of God, it was contrary to the advice which he had given; but he was not ashamed to retract his sense, when he was made acquainted with the mind of God.

2 Samuel 7:17 In-Context

15 I took away my love from Saul, whom I removed before you, but I will never stop loving your son.
16 But your family and your kingdom will continue always before me. Your throne will last forever.'"
17 Nathan told David everything God had said in this vision.
18 Then King David went in and sat in front of the Lord. David said, "Lord God, who am I? What is my family? Why did you bring me to this point?
19 But even this is not enough for you, Lord God. You have also made promises about my future family. This is not normal, Lord God.
