Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

David consults the prophet Nathan about building a temple for
the Lord, and is encouraged by him to do it, 1-3.
That night Nathan receives a revelation from God, stating that
Solomon, not David, should build the temple, 4-16.

his mercies, and makes prayer and supplication, 17-29.
NOTES ON CHAP. VII
