SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:19
Y aun te ha parecido poco esto, Señor DIOS, sino que hablas también de la casa de tu siervo en lo por venir, y que sea esta la condición de un hombre, Señor DIOS.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 7:19
Verse 19. And is this the manner of man] Literally: And this, O Lord God, is the law of Adam. Does he refer to the promise made to Adam, The seed of the woman shall bruise the head of the serpent? From my line shall the Messiah spring, and be the spiritual and triumphant King, for ever and ever. See the additions at the end.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 19. And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord God , etc.] This of raising him to the throne, and settling him on it, was but a small thing in comparison of what he promised to do for him and his: but thou hast spoken also of thy servant’s house for a great while to come ; since he had not only spoken of a son that should succeed him in the kingdom, but that he would make him an house, and establish his kingdom; yea, that the throne of his kingdom should be established for ever, that a race of kings should spring from him, and especially the King Messiah, of whose kingdom there would be no end; and so the Targum, “thou hast spoken of the house of thy servant unto the world to come,” a phrase often used by the Jews for the times of the Messiah; (see Hebrews 2:5); and so Abarbinel thinks this clause has respect to Messiah the son of David: and [is] this the manner of man, O Lord God ? to bestow their favours on their inferiors, persons of no worth and merit, and is a profuse manner? it is not; and yet to one so much below thee, and so undeserving, hast thou most largely and liberally given such great and unmerited mercies: or is it the manner, or customary to deal thus with men mean and abject, though it may with great personages that make a great figure in the world? it is not: and yet I am regarded by thee as if I was one of the greatest monarchs on earth: this sense agrees with the parallel text in ( 1 Chronicles 17:17); “and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree”; or, “this is the law”, or “doctrine of the man [who is] the Lord God” f128 . This doctrine contained in the promise now made respects the seed of the woman, the promised Shiloh, the illustrious man, Jehovah’s fellow, the incarnate God, the Messiah, who is Jehovah our righteousness, the true God and eternal life.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 18-29 - David's prayer is full of the breathings of devout affection towar God. He had low thoughts of his own merits. All we have, must be looke upon as Divine gifts. He speaks very highly and honourably of the Lord's favours to him. Considering what the character and condition of man is, we may be amazed that God should deal with him as he does. The promise of Christ includes all; if the Lord God be ours, what more can we ask, or think of? Eph 3:20. He knows us better than we know ourselves; therefore let us be satisfied with what he has done for us What can we say more for ourselves in our prayers, than God has sai for us in his promises? David ascribes all to the free grace of God Both the great things He had done for him, and the great things He ha made known to him. All was for his word's sake, that is, for the sak of Christ the eternal Word. Many, when they go to pray, have their hearts to seek, but David's heart was found, that is, it was fixed gathered in from its wanderings, entirely engaged to the duty, an employed in it. That prayer which is from the tongue only, will no please God; it must be found in the heart; that must be lifted up an poured out before God. He builds his faith, and hopes to speed, upo the sureness of God's promise. David prays for the performance of the promise. With God, saying and doing are not two things, as they ofte are with men; God will do as he hath said. The promises of God are no made to us by name, as to David, but they belong to all who believe in Jesus Christ, and plead them in his name __________________________________________________________________
