21 Has hecho estas maravillas en cumplimiento de tu palabra, según tu voluntad, y las has revelado a tu siervo.

2 Samuel 7:21 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 7:21

For thy word's sake
For the sake of the promise he had made to him by Samuel, that he should be king, and his kingdom should be established; or for the sake of the Messiah, that should spring from him; the Memra, as the Targum, the essential Word of God; and so the Septuagint version, "because of thy servant", with which agrees the parallel text in ( 1 Chronicles 17:19 ) ;

and according to thine own heart;
of his own sovereign good will and pleasure, of his own grace, as the Arabic version, and not according to the merits and deserts of David:

hast thou done all these great things;
in making him king of Israel, and settling the kingdom in his posterity to the times of the Messiah, who should spring from him:

to make thy servant know [them];
as he now did by Nathan the prophet, what he and his should enjoy for time to come; so that it is not only a blessing to have favours designed, purposed, and promised, but to have the knowledge of them, to know the things that are freely given of God.

2 Samuel 7:21 In-Context

19 Como si esto fuera poco, SEÑOR y Dios, también has hecho promesas a este siervo tuyo en cuanto al futuro de su dinastía. ¡Tal es tu plan para con los hombres, SEÑOR y Dios!
20 »¿Qué más te puede decir tu siervo David que tú no sepas, SEÑOR mi Dios?
21 Has hecho estas maravillas en cumplimiento de tu palabra, según tu voluntad, y las has revelado a tu siervo.
22 »¡Qué grande eres, SEÑOR omnipotente! Nosotros mismos hemos aprendido que no hay nadie como tú, y que aparte de ti no hay Dios.
23 ¿Y qué nación se puede comparar con tu pueblo Israel? Es la única nación en la tierra que tú has redimido, para hacerla tu propio pueblo y para dar a conocer tu nombre. Hiciste prodigios y maravillas cuando al paso de tu pueblo, al cual redimiste de Egipto, expulsaste a las naciones y a sus dioses.
