15 But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.
15 But my love will never be taken away from him, as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from before you.
15 but my steadfast love will not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away from before you.
15 But I'll never remove my gracious love from him, as I removed it from Saul, who preceded you and whom I most certainly did remove.
15 But My mercy shall not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I removed from before you.
15 But my favor will not be taken from him as I took it from Saul, whom I removed from your sight.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Samuel 7:15
Commentary on 2 Samuel 7:4-17
(Read 2 Samuel 7:4-17)
Blessings are promised to the family and posterity of David. These promises relate to Solomon, David's immediate successor, and the royal line of Judah. But they also relate to Christ, who is often called David and the Son of David. To him God gave all power in heaven and earth, with authority to execute judgment. He was to build the gospel temple, a house for God's name; the spiritual temple of true believers, to be a habitation of God through the Spirit. The establishing of his house, his throne, and his kingdom for ever, can be applied to no other than to Christ and his kingdom: David's house and kingdom long since came to an end. The committing iniquity cannot be applied to the Messiah himself, but to his spiritual seed; true believers have infirmities, for which they must expect to be corrected, though they are not cast off.
