Commentary on 1 Chronicles 17:12

Theological / Devotional

He shall build. Solomon fulfilled this prediction when he erected the Temple to be the symbolic earthly dwelling place of God (see 1 Kings 8:20, 44 ; 9:1, 3).

For ever. This promise was conditional on obedience (chapter 28:6, 7). Because of human failure the promise will ultimately be fulfilled only through Christ and the church (see Luke 1:32, 33; see on 2 Samuel 7:13).
