2 Samuel 7:6 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Samuel 7:6

4 But it happened that night that the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying,

5 “Go and tell My servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord: ^a“Would you build a house for Me to dwell in?

6 For I have not dwelt in a house ^asince the time that I brought the children of Israel up from Egypt, even to this day, but have moved about in ^ba tent and in a tabernacle.

7 Wherever I have ^amoved about with all the children of Israel, have I ever spoken a word to anyone from the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded ^bto shepherd My people Israel, saying, ‘Why have you not built Me a house of cedar?’ ” ’

8 Now therefore, thus shall you say to My servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: ^a“I took you from the sheepfold, from following the sheep, to be ruler over My people, over Israel.
