Who is the son being spoken of in 2Samuel 7:12-16 of the bible?

Question

Not Solomon, he had kingdom stripped and his temple was destroyed. Not Jesus, he never sinned like this son does.

Answer 1

did you read verse 8?

8 "Now then, tell my servant David, 'This is what the LORD Almighty says: I took you from the pasture and from following the flock to be ruler over my people Israel.

clearly its talking about King David

Answer 2

It speaks of the Son of David's bowels- Solomon -who would be the one to build the temple (almost 8 years to build it)

2 Samuel 7:11-16

Here is an unconditional promise: "Your house and your kingdom shall be established forever before you. Your throne shall be established forever" (verse 16). Speaking of Solomon, David's son who was later to build the Temple his father had proposed (verses 12-13), God says that His "mercy shall not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I removed from before you" (verse 15).

His kingdom was intact until his death as pledged by GOD.
verse 2 Sam 7:15

Answer 3

I think we are talking about solomon..
2Sa 7:12 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.
THE ABOVE IS TALKING ABOUT SOLOMON..
God established the THRONE of his kingdom, not the temple..
Solomons temple was destroyed later.. The kingdom continues through Jesus, but that is talking about the life of Solomon.

Answer 4

The answer is David. David wanted to build a temple for God. God told David no, I have another job for you, I need you to unify and lead Isreal and destroy its enemies. Although God turned down David's request to build the temple, he promised David that his house or Dynasty would continue forever. David's earthly dynasty ended 4 centuries later, but Jesus Christ was a direct descendant of David, thus the ultimate fulfillment of the promise.

Answer 5

Well into David’s reign, Jehovah chose to make a covenant with David. First He said: “I shall certainly raise up your seed after you, which will come out of your inward parts; and I shall indeed firmly establish his kingdom. He is the one that will build a house for my name, and I shall certainly establish the throne of his kingdom firmly to time indefinite.” (2 Samuel 7:12, 13) As there indicated, David’s son Solomon became the next king, and he was used to construct a house, or temple, for God in Jerusalem. Yet, there was more.

Jehovah went on to make this covenant with David: “Your house and your kingdom will certainly be steadfast to time indefinite before you; your very throne will become one firmly established to time indefinite.” Plainly, God was establishing a kingly dynasty for Israel in David’s family. It was not to be just a constant succession of Davidic kings. Eventually, someone in David’s line would come to rule “to time indefinite.”

It is evident, then, that the Davidic covenant further narrowed down the line of the Seed. Even the first-century Jews realized that the Messiah would have to be a descendant of David. Jesus Christ, the primary part of the seed of the Abrahamic covenant, qualified to become the permanent Heir of this Davidic Kingdom, as an angel testified. (Luke 1:31-33) Jesus thus gained the right to rule over the Promised Land, the earthly realm over which David had reigned. This should increase our confidence in Jesus; he rules, not by illegal usurpation, but through an established legal arrangement, a divine covenant.

Second Samuel points forward to and gives brilliant foregleams of God’s Kingdom, which he establishes in the hands of the “son of David,” Jesus Christ. The oath that Jehovah made to David concerning the permanence of his kingdom (2 Sam. 7:16) is cited at Acts 2:29-36 with reference to Jesus. That the prophecy, “I myself shall become his father, and he himself will become my son”, really pointed forward to Jesus is shown by Hebrews 1:5. This was also testified to by Jehovah’s voice speaking from heaven: “This is my Son, the beloved, whom I have approved.” (Matt. 3:17; 17:5) Finally, the Kingdom covenant with David is referred to by Gabriel in his words to Mary concerning Jesus: “This one will be great and will be called Son of the Most High; and Jehovah God will give him the throne of David his father, and he will rule as king over the house of Jacob forever, and there will be no end of his kingdom.”

Soloman's kingdom was never destroyed, just cut a little. And the Temple will come back.
