TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

God’s Promised Kingdom

God promised that his kingdom would come through David (1 Chr 17:4-14). During his reign, David himself made preparations for the building of the Temple as the focal point of God’s kingdom (28:11-19). He also appealed to Israel’s leaders to seek the Lord (28:8-10), and he encouraged the community of Israel to “be strong and courageous” in trusting God to provide (28:20-21).

The Chronicler used these words of David to appeal to the citizens of Judea after the Exile to keep the hope of God’s kingdom alive. The Chronicler wanted the people to know that God’s promise to David, confirmed to Solomon, was equally confirmed for them. After the Exile, Judah no longer existed as an independent kingdom ruled by the dynasty of David. Instead, Judea stood as a small territory with limited independence under a Persian governor. Yet the community of Judea could experience God’s blessing, just as the people had in the days of Hezekiah and Josiah. The Chronicler did not know exactly how God’s promise to David would be realized. Yet he had complete trust in God’s power, sovereignty, and justice; he knew that God would be faithful to his promise and that his kingdom would eventually rule over all.

Following the time of the Chronicler, it appeared that his hopes were disappointed. The Greeks replaced the Persians as rulers of Israel; their intolerance for the Jewish community of faith reached its zenith in the tyrannical Antiochus IV “Epiphanes” (175–163 BC), who made every effort to destroy Israel’s faith and identity, as Daniel had foreseen (Dan 11:21-39). The priestly family of Maccabees resisted Antiochus, restored the Temple, and preserved Judea’s identity. But then the community disintegrated under the successors to the Maccabees; Israel fractured into sects (e.g., the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Essenes) and eventually came under Roman control. When Jesus was born, Roman governors controlled the territory of Israel.

The fulfillment of God’s promises to David took place in a way the Chronicler did not anticipate. Jesus was the anointed king, the Messiah from the dynasty of David (see Matt 16:16-17). His Kingdom was not established by the military defeat of the Romans but rather by the defeat of the powers of sin and death. His Kingdom continues to spread through his followers, and the powers of hell will never prevail against it. In the end, His Kingdom will be fully realized in the ultimate defeat of the powers of evil, and He will reign as King forever (see Rev 19:11–20:15).

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Connecting Statement:

David finishes speaking to the Israelites.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Occurrence 0) Now then, in the sight of all Israel … all of you must

(Some words not found in UHB: and=now in,sight all Yisrael assembly YHWH and,in/on/at/with,hearing God,our observe and,follow all/each/any/every commandments YHWH God,your_all's so_that possess DOM the=earth/land the,good and,leave_~_foran_inheritance to,children,your_all's after,you_all until forever )

Here David is giving a command to all of the people of Israel. Alternate translation: “Now then, in the sight of all Israel, this assembly for Yahweh, and in the presence of our God, I command all of you to”

(Occurrence 0) Now then

This indicates that David starts a new phase in his speech.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

(Occurrence 0) all Israel, this assembly for Yahweh

These two phrases have the same meaning and the second describes the first. Even though all of the people of Israel are not present, those present represent all of Israel. Alternate translation: “all you people of Israel, in this assembly for Yahweh” (See also: figs-synecdoche)

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

(Occurrence 0) in the sight of

The phrase “in the sight of” means that they are all present and listening. Alternate translation: “in the hearing of”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

(Occurrence 0) keep and try to carry out

The phrase “to carry out” means basically the same thing as “keep.” Together the words emphasize importance of doing what God commands. Alternate translation: “carefully obey”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

(Occurrence 0) your children after you forever

This means that the land will belong to their children and the descendants in the future. The phrase “after you” is an idiom. Alternate translation: “your children and your descendants who will take your place after you die” (See also: figs-idiom)
