The Hebrew name for God here, "YHWH," is the sacred tetragrammaton, signifying His eternal and unchanging nature. Historically, this underscores the unique relationship between God and Israel, a nation chosen to be a light to the Gentiles. The phrase reminds us of God's faithfulness and His active role in the history of His people. chose me out of all my father’s house to be king over Israel forever For He chose Judah as leader and from the house of Judah, He chose my father’s house and from my father’s sons, He was pleased to make me king over all Israel For he hath chosen Judah to be the ruler.--Better, For Judah it was that he chose for prince (n?gid), and in the house of Judah, my father's house. (Comp. 1Chronicles 5:2 and Notes.) And among the sons of my father he liked me.--The expression is scarcely adequate. The verb in the Hebrew is r?c?h, which answers to the Hellenistic ????????, "to be satisfied, well pleased with." Translate, therefore, "It was I in whom He took pleasure."(Comp. Proverbs 3:12.) David uses of himself the very phrase which the Divine voice spoke from heaven at the baptism of the Son of David, the true King of Israel and of mankind (Matthew 3:17). . . . Verses 4-7. - David mentions himself as the elect of God among all the members of his father's family, and from thence is led to trace the call from the first, by the following steps: - The tribe of Judah (Genesis 49:8; 1 Chronicles 5:2); the house of Jesse (1 Samuel 16:1); thirdly, of himself (1 Samuel 16:13); and lastly of Solomon (1 Chronicles 22:9, 10; 1 Chronicles 17:11-14; 2 Samuel 7:12-16). The exact time and method of David's receiving the identification of Solomon as the son to succeed him, is nowhere given. The throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel. This expression, not found in its entirety elsewhere, is an emphatic statement here of the true theocracy, which should have ever prevailed among the people of Israel, and which is now paralleled by the kingship of the Lord in his own Church (1 Chronicles 17:14; 1 Chronicles 29:23). The solemn and most distinct proviso, If he be constant to do my commandments and my judgments, as at this day, reminds us of Psalm 132:12. This proviso is emphatically presented again to the attention of Solomon, when the time comes for the direct appeal of God to him (1 Kings 3:14; 1 Kings 8:61; 1 Kings 9:4).Parallel Commentaries ...
