David.--Literally, who spake ("promised," 2Chronicles 6:10), by his mouth with David my father, and by his hands fulfilled. (See 1Chronicles 11:2; 1Chronicles 17:4-14.) The only variant in this verse is hands for hand. The unpointed text of Kings might be read in either way. (Comp. 2Chronicles 6:15, infr.)Verse 4. - (See 2 Samuel 7:4-17; 1 Chronicles 11:2; 1 Chronicles 17:4-14.) With his hands,... with his mouth. Expressions like this, antithesis and all, remind how language formed itself in the concrete mould at first, from that, ever becoming more abstract as time grew. The ampler language of later date would be, Who hath indeed fulfilled that which he spake. 2 Chronicles 6:4 proclaims that the God who speaks is the God who acts. Solomon blesses the covenant LORD, identifies Him as Israel’s unique God, celebrates His hands-on fulfillment of every promise, and roots the moment in the everlasting covenant with David. The verse invites believers to trust every word of Scripture as certain, because the same faithful God still speaks and still brings His purposes to completion. Parallel Commentaries ...
