1 Chronicles 22:9

9 filius qui nascetur tibi et erit vir quietissimus faciam enim eum requiescere ab omnibus inimicis suis per circuitum et ob hanc causam pacificus vocabitur et pacem et otium dabo in Israhel cunctis diebus eius

1 Chronicles 22:9 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 22:9

Behold, a son shall be born to thee
For this was said to David before the birth of Solomon, see ( 2 Samuel 7:12 2 Samuel 7:13 ) ( 12:24 )

who shall be a man of rest, and I will give him rest from all his
enemies round about:
and so should be at leisure for such a work, and his people enjoy great prosperity and riches, and so be capable of contributing largely and liberally to it:

for his name shall be Solomon;
which signifies peace, and is one of the six persons that had their names given them before they were born, as the Jews observe ^F17:

and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days;
and so a proper time to begin and carry on such a work; of the fulfilment of this prophecy, see ( 1 Kings 4:24 1 Kings 4:25 ) ( 1 Kings 5:3 1 Kings 5:4 ) .

1 Chronicles 22:9 In-Context

7 dixitque David ad Salomonem fili mi voluntatis meae fuit ut aedificarem domum nomini Domini Dei mei

8 sed factus est ad me sermo Domini dicens multum sanguinem effudisti et plurima bella bellasti non poteris aedificare domum nomini meo tanto effuso sanguine coram me

9 filius qui nascetur tibi et erit vir quietissimus faciam enim eum requiescere ab omnibus inimicis suis per circuitum et ob hanc causam pacificus vocabitur et pacem et otium dabo in Israhel cunctis diebus eius

10 ipse aedificabit domum nomini meo et ipse erit mihi in filium et ego ero ei in patrem firmaboque solium regni eius super Israhel in aeternum

11 nunc ergo fili mi sit Dominus tecum et prosperare et aedifica domum Domino Deo tuo sicut locutus est de te
