Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
walked: Leviticus 26:11, Leviticus 26:12
any of the tribes: 1 Chronicles 17:6, any of the judges, Instead of שï¯×××, shivtey, "tribes," we should probably read, with Houbigant, Drs. Waterland and A. Clarke, and others, שï¯×¤××, shophtey, "judges;" which is the reading in the parallel passage. Indeed there is but one letter of difference between them, and letters which might be easily mistaken for each other; the apex under the upper stroke of the פ, pay, being the only mark to distinguish it from the ×, baith. Compare with 2 Samuel 7:11.
feed: 2 Samuel 5:2, Psalms 78:71, Psalms 78:72, Isaiah 40:11, Jeremiah 3:15, Jeremiah 23:4, Ezekiel 34:2, Ezekiel 34:15, Ezekiel 34:23, Micah 5:4, Matthew 2:6, *marg. John 21:15-17, Acts 20:28, Acts 21:28, 1 Peter 5:1

Cross-References
But I will confirm my covenant with you. So enter the boat—you and your wife and your sons and their wives.
When everything was ready, the Lord said to Noah, "Go into the boat with all your family, for among all the people of the earth, I can see that you alone are righteous.
That very day Noah had gone into the boat with his wife and his sons—Shem, Ham, and Japheth—and their wives.
Two by two they came into the boat, representing every living thing that breathes.
A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.
In those days before the flood, the people were enjoying banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time Noah entered his boat.
In those days, the people enjoyed banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time Noah entered his boat and the flood came and destroyed them all.
So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us.
It was by faith that Noah built a large boat to save his family from the flood. He obeyed God, who warned him about things that had never happened before. By his faith Noah condemned the rest of the world, and he received the righteousness that comes by faith.
those who disobeyed God long ago when God waited patiently while Noah was building his boat. Only eight people were saved from drowning in that terrible flood.
Gill's Notes on the Bible
In all [the places] wherein I have walked with all the children of Israel,.... :- on the places mentioned there:
spake I a word with any of the tribes of Israel; or rather the sceptres of Israel; so the word is rendered, Genesis 49:10; the sceptre bearers, rulers, and governors, whose custom was to carry a sceptre in their hands, as Ben Melech observes; and so in a parallel text, 1 Chronicles 17:6, it is, "to any of the judges of Israel"; any of those from the times of Moses and Joshua to the times of Saul and David, and this is confirmed by what follows:
whom I commanded to feed my people Israel; that is, to rule and govern them, protect and defend them, which cannot be said of the tribes, but of the rulers of them; and the Lord asks this question, whether ever he had said a word to any of those, in all that space of time, expressing anything of this kind:
saying, why build ye not me an house of cedar? they never were bid to do it, or expostulated with why they did not, or ever reproved for not doing it; therefore why should David think of doing it?
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The tribes of Israel - The duplicate passage reads judges (see margin and compare 2 Samuel 7:11). But a comparison with such passages as Psa 78:67-68; 1 Kings 8:16; and 1 Chronicles 28:4, favors the reading âtribes,â and the phrase is a condensed one, the meaning of which is, that whatever tribe had in times past supplied the ruler of Israel, whether Ephraim in the days of Joshua, or Benjamin in the time of Saul, or Judah in that of David, God had never required any of these tribes to build a house in one of their cities.
An house of cedar - See 1 Kings 7:2-3; 1Ki 10:17, 1 Kings 10:21; Jeremiah 22:14, Jeremiah 22:23. Beams of cedar marked a costly building. The cedar of Lebanon is a totally different tree from what we improperly call the red or Virginian cedar, which supplies the sweet-scented cedar wood, and is really a kind of juniper. The cedar of Lebanon is a close-grained, light-colored, yellowish wood, with darker knots and veins.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Samuel 7:7. With any of the tribes — "Spake I a word to any of the JUDGES" is the reading in the parallel place, 1 Chronicles 17:6, and this is probably the true reading. Indeed, there is but one letter of difference between them, and letters which might be easily mistaken for each other: ש××× shibtey, tribes, is almost the same in appearance with שפ×× shophetey, judges; the × beth and the פ pe being the same letter, the apex under the upper stroke of the פ pe excepted. If this were but a little effaced in a MS., it would be mistaken for the other, and then we should have tribes instead of judges. This reading seems confirmed by 2 Samuel 7:11.
