This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Sa_7:29 Therefore now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee: for thou, O Lord GOD, hast spoken [it]: and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.
Ver. 29. Let it please thee to bless.] Heb., Be thou pleased and bless. Another prophet hath it, "It hath pleased thee to bless." {1Ch_17:27} Prayers are often made in faith, as if they were done things.
Let the house of thg servant be blessed for ever.] This is to press and oppress the promises, as we are commanded to do, {Isa_66:11} till we have expressed the utmost sweetness out of them. David prevailed and prospered hereupon, as appeareth by the next chapter.
