S E C O N D S A M U E L CHAP. VII. Still the ark is David's care as well as his joy. In this chapter we have, I. His consultation with Nathan about building a house for it; he signifies his purpose to do it ( 2 Samuel 7:1 ; 2 Samuel 7:2 ) and Nathan approves his purpose, 2 Samuel 7:3 . II. His communion with God about it. 1. A gracious message God sent him about it, accepting his purpose, countermanding the performance, and promising him an entail of blessings upon his family, 2 Samuel 7:4-17 . 2. A very humble prayer which David offered up to God in return to that gracious message, thankfully accepting God's promises to him, and earnestly praying for the performance of them, 2 Samuel 7:18-29 . And, in both these, there is an eye to the Messiah and his kingdom. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-1-3" class="com-number"
