Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Solomon said,.... In his dream; not that he dreamt he said, when he did not; but he really said, as follows:
thou hast showed unto thy servant David my father great mercy; bestowed many favours and blessings upon him, both temporal and spiritual:
according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; in the truth of doctrine and worship, according to the revealed will and word of God, and which he observed with great strictness, living soberly, righteously, and godly, though not without failings and imperfections, yet with great integrity and sincerity; and this holy walk of his was not the cause of God's showing mercy to him, nor was it in proportion to that, but what he was influenced to by the mercy that was shown him:
and thou hast kept for him this great kindness, that thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as [it is] this day; a son to be his successor, meaning himself; which was an additional favour to all the rest, and was in reserve, and now bestowed, as time had made to appear.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
This great kindness - David himself had regarded this as God’s crowning mercy to him 1 Kings 1:48.
