“Moreover, I will establish his kingdom for ever, etc.] The same is said in (<100713>2 Samuel 7:13) if he be constant to do my commandments, and my judgments, as at this day; if he continued in the observance of them, as he had begun, and went on in until that day; this is added here, and was not spoken by Nathan, when what goes before was; for Solomon was not then born, but must be suggested to David since, and as it should seem at this time.”
