Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he said, blessed be the Lord God of Israel,.... All praise and glory, honour and blessing, be ascribed to the Lord; who had afresh shown himself to be Israel's covenant God, by taking up his residence among them in the temple he had filled with his glory:

which spake with his mouth to David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it; who graciously promised him he should have a son that should build an house for him, and which he had by his power and providence faithfully performed; or rather which spake concerning David, so Noldius x; for God did not speak with his mouth to David, but to Nathan, of him: saying; as follows.

x Ebr. Concord. Part. p. 117. No. 596. So Sept.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The exact words of 2 Samuel 7:0 are not reproduced; only their general sense is given. In 1 Kings 8:18, what was merely tacitly implied was regarded as actually “said.”
