TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

The Promise of Dynasty

God promised David that his dynasty would last forever (2 Sam 7:11-16 // 1 Chr 17:9-14). Yet the Chronicler lived at a time when David’s dynasty had apparently ended. Although David’s line of descent continued (see 1 Chr 3:1-24), no descendant of David had been king since the exile of Judah to Babylon over 150 years earlier. As a result, Israel’s hope for the future was in question. The Chronicler wanted to show that God’s promise to David was unconditional and that his throne was indeed “secure forever.” Even the possibility of exile does not remove the hope of God’s promise of a dynasty. The promise would continue for a future time because a future descendant of David would inherit the throne (17:11).

The Chronicler’s hope was not directly “messianic” in the strict sense—he was not primarily focused on the arising of an anointed deliverer. His continuing hope was that the covenant community would again be led by kings descended from David. The Chronicler encouraged the community to look to the future for a new king to improve Israel’s condition.

With the birth of Jesus, the Son of David, the Chronicler’s hope for the community of Israel was finally realized. Jesus is the fulfillment of the Chronicler’s expectation of a new king (see Matt 1:1-17). His Kingdom is for all the nations (Isa 49:6), stretching “from sea to sea and from the Euphrates River to the ends of the earth” (Zech 9:10).

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

(Occurrence 0) Go and tell David my servant, ‘This is what Yahweh says: You will not build me a house in which to live

(Some words not found in UHB: go and,tell to/towards Dāvid servant,my thus he/it_had_said YHWH not you(ms) build to/for=me the,house to,dwell )

This has quotations within quotations. It may be necessary to translate them as indirect quotations. Alternate translation: “Go and tell David my servant that he will not be the one to build a house in which I will live” (See also: figs-quotations)

(Occurrence 0) build me a house

(Some words not found in UHB: go and,tell to/towards Dāvid servant,my thus he/it_had_said YHWH not you(ms) build to/for=me the,house to,dwell )

Here “house” means a temple. In 1 Chronicles 17:10 Yahweh will say that he will build a house for David. There “house” means a family. If your language has a word that can express both ideas, use it here and in 17:10.
