Who is the "He/His" spoken of in 2 Samuel 7:13?

Question

He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.- 2 Samuel 7:13.

Answer 1

Jesus isn't it? He shall build a hous in My name( oviously the Church) and the establishment of his kingdom would be religion. Or at least I think so.

Answer 2

Solomon/ Solomon's

7:7 Throughout the history of God's dealings with Israelites, never once did He reprove them for failing to build Him a permanent sanctuary.

7:8 God reminded David of His gracious dealings in taking him from the humble role of a shepherd as king over His people.

7:9 A great name or reputation was highly valued by the Hebrews. As God promised to make the name Abram great ( see Gen.12:2 ), so He promised David that his name would be renowned.

7:10 God promised to provide Israel a secure dwelling place in the land of Israel

7:11 House: David wanted to build God a house ( vv 2-7 ). Instead God intended to build David a house - that is, a dynasty of long duration

7:12 The first provision of the Davidic covenant was that David would have a son for whom God would establish a kingdom

7:13 House here refers to the temple ( see 1 Kin 6 ). God also promised to establish the throne of Solomon's kingdom forever ( see 1 Chr 22:6-10 )

7:14 Iniquity: The sins of David's sons would require divine chastening ( 1 Kin 11:1-13 )

7:15 Although Solomons sins would justify chastening, God promised that His mercy would NOT be removed, as it was necessary in the case of Saul ( 1 Sam 13:13,14,15:22,23 )

Answer 3

David. God is saying in the passage that David’s throne, through Christ, is to be established forever because of Christ's Davidic descent.

The question you might be asking is "Was DAVID'S House and Throne Established Forever?" David's or Christ's? Let me explain further. 2 Samuel 7:16 is an example of a dualistic prophecy, that is, a prophecy with a double meaning. It promised that David's lineage would continue on the throne, and unlike Saul's lineage, would not be overthrown after his death. But it is clearly a Messianic prophecy as well. Jesus, the Messiah, was called David, He would hold the key of David, and He would sit upon the throne of David. Clearly, only one person can sit upon the throne of David (that is, rule over the house of Israel) forever and ever, and that one is Christ. He came into mortality as a descendant of David and as an heir to his throne both physically and spiritually. At the time of the Savior's birth, Israel was ruled by alien monarchs. The rights of the royal Davidic family were unrecognized; and the ruler of the Jews was an appointee of Rome. Had Judah been a free and independent nation, ruled by her rightful sovereign, Joseph the carpenter would have been her crowned king; and his lawful successor to the throne would have been Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.

Answer 4

David Plans to Build a Temple

Answer 5

Well it was speaking first of Solomon, Davids son, who would build the temple of God. But the part of establishing his throne forever points prophetically toward Christ. Read the whole chapter and it will make more sense.

Answer 6

The tricky part many miss is the "and", which is noted again in 7:17, where it notes this and that is spoken to David by his son Nathan. The "and" oft separates law and grace; For it's not all about Jesus, but all about law and grace.

Answer 7

The son of David (Solomon) and the son of David (the Messiah) merge here. It is the Messiah's throne that will be established forever.

Answer 8

Solomon, David's son.

But then seeing the kingdom would be established forever, it meant that David's descendants would always be on Jehovah's throne as king. Jesus is the descendant of David who lives forever and hence with Jesus as king (as of 1914), that prophecy is fulfilled on a larger scale.

Answer 9

It's David's son Solomon, who became king after David.

Answer 10

solomon. solomon will build the temple.
