CHAP. XVII.

      This excellent chapter is the same with 2 Samuel 7:1-29 It will be worth while to look back upon what was there said upon it. Two things in general we have in it:-- I. God's gracious acceptance of David's purpose to build him a house, and the promise he made thereupon, 1 Chronicles 17:1-15. II. David's gracious acceptance of God's good promise to build him a house, and the prayer he made thereupon, 1 Chronicles 17:16-27.
