What God Is for David

David’s holy desire to build a house for the glory of God is the opportunity for God to tell of what He has done to David (1Chr 17:7-8) and what He will do to him (1Chr 17:9-14). 1Chr 17:9 will be fully realized in the kingdom of peace. In this verse and the following verses, we see a reference to the Messiah. 1Chr 17:10 is elaborated in 1 Chronicles 18-20, as a premonition of the judgments that precede the kingdom of peace.

God does not mention a particular son, but He speaks in a general sense of one “of your sons” (1Chr 17:11). That fits in this Bible book. One “of your sons” refers to the Messiah and not Solomon as the physical son. It is about the Lord Jesus, the Son of God (Psa 2:7; Heb 1:5 ; Heb 5:5; Acts 13:33), for Whom God will be a Father and Who will be His Son (1Chr 17:13; 1Chr 22:10 ; 1Chr 28:6).

The Son will build a house for the LORD. The reign and kingship of the Son shall be “without end” (1Chr 17:12b; 1Chr 17:14; Lk 1:32-33; Dan 2:44). It is also clearly said that the kingdom of the Son is the kingdom of the LORD: “My kingdom”.

As a faithful envoy, withholding nothing from the whole purpose of God, Nathan conveys to David all the words of the LORD (1Chr 17:15). He is as faithful in this as Paul is later, who says to the elders of Ephesus: “For I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole purpose of God” (Acts 20:27).
