Compare throughout [2 Samuel 7](../../../kjv/2-samuel/7) and the notes found there.

**My son -**The minatory clause which occurs after this in Samuel is here omitted, because the writer is not about to record the sins of Solomon, or the sufferings [1 Kings 11:9-40](../../../kjv/1-kings/11/9-40) which he thereby brought upon himself.

**Hast regarded me ... -**i. e., “Thou hast elevated me above other men, by making my kingdom perpetual, regarding me as if I were a man of high degree.” Compare the [2 Samuel 7:19](../../../kjv/2-samuel/7/19) note.

**For the honor of thy servant -**i. e., “for the honor which Thou hast done for Thy servant.” The Septuagint omits “Thy servant,” and renders it: “What can David say more to Thee to glorify Thee? For Thou knowest,” etc.

Some prefer, “And let Thy name be established and magnified forever:” i. e., “Let not only Thy promise stand firm, but let Thy Name also stand firm (continue to be held in honor) and be magnified,” etc.

The marginal rendering is preferable.
