2 Samuele 7:7

Listen to 2 Samuele 7:7
7 Dovunque sono andato, or qua, or là, in mezzo a tutti i figliuoli d’Israele, ho io forse mai parlato ad alcuna delle tribù a cui avevo comandato di pascere il mio popolo d’Israele, dicendole: Perché non mi edificate una casa di cedro?

2 Samuele 7:7 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 7:7

In all [the places] wherein I have walked with all the children
of Israel (See Gill on 2 Samuel 7:6) on the places mentioned there:

spake I a word with any of the tribes of Israel;
or rather the sceptres of Israel; so the word is rendered, ( Genesis 49:10 ) ; the sceptre bearers, rulers, and governors, whose custom was to carry a sceptre in their hands, as Ben Melech observes; and so in a parallel text, ( 1 Chronicles 17:6 ) , it is, "to any of the judges of Israel"; any of those from the times of Moses and Joshua to the times of Saul and David, and this is confirmed by what follows:

whom I commanded to feed my people Israel;
that is, to rule and govern them, protect and defend them, which cannot be said of the tribes, but of the rulers of them; and the Lord asks this question, whether ever he had said a word to any of those, in all that space of time, expressing anything of this kind:

saying, why build ye not me an house of cedar?
they never were bid to do it, or expostulated with why they did not, or ever reproved for not doing it; therefore why should David think of doing it?

2 Samuele 7:7 In-Context

5 "Va’ e di’ al mio servo Davide: Così dice l’Eterno: Saresti tu quegli che mi edificherebbe una casa perch’io vi dimori?
6 Ma io non ho abitato in una casa, dal giorno che trassi i figliuoli d’Israele dall’Egitto, fino al dì d’oggi; ho viaggiato sotto una tenda e in un tabernacolo.
7 Dovunque sono andato, or qua, or là, in mezzo a tutti i figliuoli d’Israele, ho io forse mai parlato ad alcuna delle tribù a cui avevo comandato di pascere il mio popolo d’Israele, dicendole: Perché non mi edificate una casa di cedro?
8 Ora dunque parlerai così al mio servo Davide: Così dice l’Eterno degli eserciti: Io ti presi dall’ovile, di dietro alle pecore, perché tu fossi il principe d’Israele, mio popolo;
9 e sono stato teco dovunque sei andato, ho sterminato dinanzi a te tutti i tuoi nemici, e ho reso il tuo nome grande come quello dei grandi che son sulla terra;
