2 Chronicles 6:42 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

O Lord, turn not away the face of thine anointed Of me, who by thy command was anointed the king and ruler of thy people: do not deny my request, nor send me from the throne of thy grace with a dejected countenance. Remember the mercies of David Those which thou hast promised to David, and to his house for ever. And thus may we plead, with an eye to Christ, who is called David, Hosea 3:5. Lord, remember his merits, and accept of us on the account of them. Remember the promises of the everlasting covenant, which are called the sure mercies of David, Isaiah 55:3. This must be all our desire, all our hope, all our prayer, and all our plea; for it is all our salvation.

2 Chronicles 6:42

42 O LORD God, turn not away the face of thine anointed: remember the mercies of David thy servant.
