King James Version (en)

2 Samuel, Chapter 7,  verses 1-5, 8-12, 16

1 Nathan, first approving the purpose of David to build God an house, 4 after by the word of God forbiddeth him, 12 He promiseth him benefits and blessings in his seed
1 And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the LORD had given him rest round about from all his enemies;
2 That the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains.
3 And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thine heart; for the LORD is with thee.
4 And it came to pass that night, that the word of the LORD came unto Nathan, saying,
5 Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the LORD, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in?
...
8 Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel:
9 And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies out of thy sight, and have made thee a great name, like unto the name of the great men that are in the earth.
10 Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime,
11 And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also the LORD telleth thee that he will make thee an house.
12 And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
...
16 And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.

7  Nathan approves David's design of building an house for God, Sa2 7:1-3.
God forbids it, but promises to bless him and his seed, Sa2 7:4-17.
His prayer and thanksgiving, Sa2 7:18-29.


7:1 Sat - That is, was settled in the house which Hiram's men had built for him, then he reflected upon the unsettled state of the ark.


7:2 Curtains - That is, in a tent or tabernacle, ver. Sa2 7:6, composed of several curtains.


7:3 Nathan said - Pursue thy intentions, and build an house for the ark. The design being pious and the thing not forbidden by God, Nathan hastily approves it, before he had consulted God about it, as both he and David ought to have done in a matter of so great moment. And therefore Nathan meets with this rebuke, that he is forced to acknowledge his error, and recant it. For the holy prophets did not speak all things by prophetic inspiration, but some things by an human spirit.


7:4 The word of the Lord came - Because David's mistake was pious, and from an honest mind, God would not suffer him to lie long in it.


7:5 Shalt thou - That is, thou shalt not.

Luke, Chapter 1,  verses 67-79

67 The prophecy of Zachary both of Christ, 76 and of John
67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:
71 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
72 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;
73 The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,
74 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,
75 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
76 And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;
77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,
78 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,
79 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.

1:67 And Zacharias prophesied - Of things immediately to follow.But it is observable, he speaks of Christ chiefly; of John only, as it were, incidentally.


1:69 A horn - Signifies honour, plenty, and strength. A horn of salvation - That is, a glorious and mighty Saviour.


1:70 His prophets, who have been since the world began - For there were prophets from the very beginning.


1:74 To serve him without fear - Without any slavish fear. Here is the substance of the great promise. That we shall be always holy, always happy: that being delivered from Satan and sin, from every uneasy and unholy temper, we shall joyfully love and serve God, in every thought, word, and work.


1:76 And thou, child - He now speaks to John; yet not as a parent, but as a prophet.


1:77 To give knowledge of salvation by the remission of sins - The knowledge of the remission of our sins being the grand instrument of present and eternal salvation, Heb 8:11-12. But the immediate sense of the words seems to be, to preach to them the Gospel doctrine of salvation by the remission of their sins.


1:78 The day spring - Or the rising sun; that is, Christ.
