1 Chronicles 17:1 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

1 CHRONICLES CHAPTER 17. David, deigning to build God a house, Nathan at first approveth of it; after, by the word of God, forbiddeth him 1 Chronicles 17:1-10; promising him blessings and benefits in his seed, 1 Chronicles 17:11-15. David's prayer and thanksgiving, 1 Chronicles 17:16-27. This whole chapter is explained, 2Sa 7, where the same things are recorded with very little variation of the words; which also hath been considered in my notes upon that chapter; to which I refer the reader, taking notice here but of some very few things.

1 Chronicles 17:1

1 Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in an house of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD remaineth under curtains.
