1 Chronicles 22
1. David, foreknowing the place of the temple, prepares abundance for building it.
6. He instructs Solomon in God's promises, and his duty in building the temple.
17. He charges the princes to assist his son














He will build a house for My Name
This phrase refers to Solomon, the son of David, who was chosen by God to build the temple in Jerusalem. The "house" signifies the temple, a central place of worship for the Israelites. The Hebrew word for "house" (בַּיִת, bayit) can mean both a physical structure and a household or dynasty, indicating that Solomon's task was not only architectural but also spiritual, establishing a legacy of worship. The temple was to be a dwelling place for God's presence, symbolizing His covenant relationship with Israel. Historically, this was a monumental task, as the temple became the focal point of Jewish worship and identity.

and he will be My son, and I will be his Father
This phrase emphasizes the special relationship between God and Solomon. The language of sonship here is covenantal, indicating a unique bond and divine favor. In the ancient Near Eastern context, kings were often seen as sons of their gods, but this declaration by God sets Solomon apart with a personal and intimate relationship with the Lord. The Hebrew concept of "son" (בֵּן, ben) implies not only lineage but also character and purpose, suggesting that Solomon was to reflect God's will and wisdom in his reign. This relationship foreshadows the ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who perfectly embodies this divine sonship.

and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever
This promise of an eternal kingdom is a continuation of the Davidic Covenant, where God assured David that his lineage would endure forever. The "throne" (כִּסֵּא, kise) symbolizes authority and governance, and its establishment "forever" (עוֹלָם, olam) points to a divine plan that transcends Solomon's earthly reign. While Solomon's kingdom was not eternal in the temporal sense, this prophecy finds its ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ, the Messiah, who reigns eternally. The historical context here is crucial, as it reassures the Israelites of God's unchanging promise despite the eventual division and exile of the kingdom. This eternal perspective offers hope and assurance of God's sovereign plan through the ages.

(10) He shall build an house.--Comp. 1 Chronicles 17; parts of 1Chronicles 22:11-13 are here repeated. (See the Notes there.)

Verse 10. - The substance of this verse is found also in Nathan's language (1 Chronicles 17:12, 13; 2 Samuel 7:13, 14).
