SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:46

el cual hall gracia delante de Dios, y pidi de hallar tabernculo para el Dios de Jacob.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Acts 7:46

Verse 46. Desired to find a tabernacle] This was in David's heart, and it met with the Divine approbation: see 2 Sam. vii. 2, Ac., and see the purpose, Psa. cxxxii. 2-5; but, as David had been a man of war, and had shed much blood, God would not permit him to build the temple; but he laid the plan and made provision for it, and Solomon executed the design.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 46. Who found favour before God , etc.] That is, David, who had an interest in the free favour and love of God, was chosen of God, a man after his own heart, and raised up to do his will; and who had the grace of God implanted in him, and was acceptable, and well pleasing to God through Christ; the same is said of Noah, ( Genesis 6:8) and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob ; from whom the Israelites descended: David having a deep sense of the love of God to him, and the grace of God wrought in his heart, was exceeding desirous of finding a place for the building of an house, or fixed habitation for God; for there was a tabernacle already, which had been from the time of Moses, and which the children of Israel brought with them into Canaan, and was moved from place to place; sometimes it was at Gilgal, sometimes at Shiloh, and then it was at Nob, and Gibeah, and at length it was brought by David into his own city; but he wanted to build a settled and stable house for the Lord, of which there was a hint given that the Lord would choose a place to put his name in, ( Deuteronomy 16:2) but it seems, where that was to be was not known; and therefore David very anxiously sought after it; the reference is had to ( <19D203> Psalm 132:3-5) where David determines not to go to his house, nor up to his bed, nor give sleep, to his eyes, nor slumber to his eyelids, till he had found out a place for the habitation of the God of Jacob.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 42-50 - Stephen upbraids the Jews with the idolatry of their fathers, to whic God gave them up as a punishment for their early forsaking him. It wa no dishonour, but an honour to God, that the tabernacle gave way to the temple; so it is now, that the earthly temple gives way to the spiritual one; and so it will be when, at last, the spiritual shal give way to the eternal one. The whole world is God's temple, in whic he is every where present, and fills it with his glory; what occasio has he then for a temple to manifest himself in? And these things sho his eternal power and Godhead. But as heaven is his throne, and the earth his footstool, so none of our services can profit Him who mad all things. Next to the human nature of Christ, the broken an spiritual heart is his most valued temple.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

46. Desired (hthsato). More correctly, asked: through Nathan. See 2 Samuel vii. 2.

Tabernacle (skhnwma). It was not a tabernacle or tent which David proposed to build, but a house. See 2 Sam. vii. 2. Rev., rightly, habitation. Compare oikon, a house, ver. 47 and 2 Chron. vi. 18.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

7:46 {Asked} (eitesato). Aorist middle (indirect) indicative, asked for himself (as a favor to himself). Cf. #2Sa 7:2f. {A habitation} (skenwma). Like #Ps 132:5, but it was a house that David proposed to build (#2Sa 7:2), not a tent (skene) which already existed. skenwma here means a more permanent abode (oikon, house, in verse #47), though from the same root as skene.
