Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerses 4-15. - These verses are the unfolding to David of the magnificent and far-stretching purposes of God's grace towards him in his son Solomon and his descendants for ever. The revelation is made by the mouth of Nathan. Verse 4. - Thou shalt not build. The Hebrew marks the personal pronoun here as emphatic," Not thou shalt build," i.e. but some one else. In the parallel this prohibition is conveyed by that interrogative particle which expects the answer No, and may be thus translated: "Is it thou shalt build for me," etc.?
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(4) David my servant.--Samuel, "unto my servant, unto David."Thou shalt not build me an house to dwell in.--Rather, It is not thou that shalt build me the house to dwell in. Samuel, interrogatively, implying a negation, "Wilt thou build me a house for me to dwell in?" The chronicler, thinking of the famous Temple of Solomon, writes, "the house."
