2 Samuel 7:11 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 7:11

And as since the time that I commanded judges [to be] over my
people Israel
Before the time the judges were raised they were greatly afflicted by one nation or another around them, and between judge and judge, but now they should be no more so; here the parenthesis should end:

and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies;
this belongs to David personally, and intends the same as in ( 2 Samuel 7:1 ) ;

also the Lord telleth thee, that he will make thee an house;
not only build up his family, and make that numerous, but establish the house of his kingdom, as the Targum; that whereas he was desirous of building an house for God, God would build up an house for him; which would be a clear proof, that though he did not think fit to make use of him in the building of his house, yet he was not cast out of his favour, nor was it to be so interpreted by himself or others.

2 Samuel 7:11 In-Context

9 He estado contigo dondequiera que has ido y destruí a todos tus enemigos frente a tus propios ojos. ¡Ahora haré que tu nombre sea tan famoso como el de los grandes que han vivido en la tierra!

10 Le daré una patria a mi pueblo Israel y lo estableceré en un lugar seguro donde nunca será molestado. Las naciones malvadas no lo oprimirán como lo hicieron en el pasado,

11 cuando designé jueces para que gobernaran a mi pueblo Israel; y te daré descanso de todos tus enemigos.
»”Además, el Señor
declara que construirá una casa para ti, ¡una dinastía de reyes!

12 Pues cuando mueras y seas enterrado con tus antepasados, levantaré a uno de tus hijos de tu propia descendencia y fortaleceré su reino.

13 Él es quien edificará una casa —un templo— para mi nombre, y afirmaré su trono real para siempre.
