Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER VII
David consults the prophet Nathan about building a temple for
the Lord, and is encouraged by him to do it, 1-3.
That night Nathan receives a revelation from God, stating that
Solomon, not David, should build the temple, 4-16.

his mercies, and makes prayer and supplication, 17-29.
NOTES ON CHAP. VII
Verse 2 Samuel 7:1. When the king sat in his house — That is, when he became resident in the palace which Hiram, king of Tyre, had built for him.
And the Lord had given him rest — This was after he had defeated the Philistines, and cast them out of all the strong places in Israel which they had possessed after the overthrow of Saul; but before he had carried his arms beyond the land of Israel, against the Moabites, Syrians, and Idumeans. See 2 Samuel 8:1-14.
