2 Samuel 7:15

15 Mais ma grâce ne se retirera point de lui, comme je l'ai retirée de Saül, que j'ai ôté de devant toi.

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 Ce sera lui qui bâtira une maison à mon nom, et j'affermirai le trône de son règne à toujours.

14 Je serai son père, et lui sera mon fils. S'il commet quelque iniquité, je le châtierai avec la verge des hommes et avec les plaies des fils des hommes,

15 Mais ma grâce ne se retirera point de lui, comme je l'ai retirée de Saül, que j'ai ôté de devant toi.

16 Ainsi ta maison et ton règne seront assurés à jamais devant tes yeux; ton trône sera à jamais affermi.

17 Nathan parla donc à David selon toutes ces paroles et selon toute cette vision.
