Verse [1 Chronicles 17:1](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/17/1). ***Now it came to pass*** — See every thing recorded in this chapter amply detailed in *Clarke's notes on "*[2 Samuel 7:1](../../../kjv/2-samuel/7/1)*"*, &c.

Verse [1 Chronicles 17:5](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/17/5). ***But have gone from tent to tent*** — "I have transferred my tabernacle from Gilgal to Nob, from Nob to Shiloh, and from Shiloh to Gibeon."-*Targum* and *Jarchi*.

Verse [1 Chronicles 17:9](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/17/9). ***Neither shall the children of wickedness*** — They shall no more be brought into *servitude* as they were in the time they sojourned in Egypt. This is what is here referred to.

Verse [1 Chronicles 17:12](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/17/12). ***I will establish his throne for ever.*** — David was a type of Christ; and concerning him the prophecy is literally true. See [Isaiah 9:7](../../../kjv/isaiah/9/7), where there is evidently the same reference.

Verse [1 Chronicles 17:13](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/17/13). ***I will not take my mercy away from him*** — I will not cut off his family *from the throne*, as I did that of his predecessor Saul.

Verse [1 Chronicles 17:16](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/17/16). ***And what*****is*****mine house, that thou hast brought me**********hitherto?*** — I am not of any regal family, and have no natural right to the throne.

Verse [1 Chronicles 17:25](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/17/25). ***Hath found*****in his heart*****to pray*** — The Targum expresses a full sense: "Therefore thy servant hath found an opening of mouth, that he might pray before Thee."

Verse [1 Chronicles 17:27](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/17/27). ***For thou blessest, O Lord*** — "Thou beginnest to bless the house of thy servant, therefore it shall be blessed for ever." - *T*.
THE reader is requested to refer to [2 Samuel 7](../../../kjv/2-samuel/7), and the notes there for many particulars that belong to the parallel places here, and which it should answer no good purpose to repeat in this place.
