Shmuel Bais 7:15

15 But My chesed shall not be taken away from him, as I took it from Sha’ul, whom I removed from before thee.

Shmuel Bais 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.

Shmuel Bais 7:15 In-Context

13 He shall build a Bais for My Shem, and I will establish the kisse (throne) of his Mamlachah ad olam.

14 I will be his Av, and he shall be My Ben [HaElohim]. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the shevet anashim, and with the floggings of bnei adam;

15 But My chesed shall not be taken away from him, as I took it from Sha’ul, whom I removed from before thee.

16 And thine Bais and thy Mamlachah shall be established ad olam before thee; thy kisse (throne) shall be established ad olam (forever) [See Ps 89:36-39]).

17 According to all these devarim, and according to all this chizzayon (revelation), so did Natan speak unto Dovid.
