This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Sa_7:23 And what one nation in the earth [is] like thy people, [even] like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee from Egypt, [from] the nations and their gods?
Ver. 23. And what one nation … is like thy people?] See Deu_4:7; Deu_33:29. {See Trapp on "Deu_4:7"} {See Trapp on "Deu_33:29"}
Whom God went to redeem.] Came down from heaven, as it were, to display his glorious power upon earth {Exo_3:7-8} The whole Trinity did so in a special manner, when God the Son took our nature, and therein came to visit us.
And to defer you.] This he speaketh by a most emphatical apostrophe to the people: and then presently turneth him to God again, having his heart as full of heaven as it could hold.
