This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Sa_7:8 Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel:
Ver. 8. Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David.] God signified his good acceptance by calling him his servant David: for at another time, when he had offended, it was plain David. {2Sa_24:12} So when the people had set up an idol, God fathereth them upon Moses; {Exo_32:7} he would own them no longer.
I took thee from the sheepcote.] So that thou needest not to doubt of my love, though I use not thy service in this particular.
To be ruler over my people, over Israel.] Do this well, and thou needest not be idle.
