Commentary on 1 Chronicles 17:9

Theological / Devotional

Ordain a place. Up to this time Israel had experienced many difficulties in their settlement in Palestine, and not all had yet settled down to established abodes in permanent centers. Tribal boundaries continued to fluctuate, and the inroads of enemies made their extent uncertain. Some of the cities originally assigned to Israel were held by Canaanites in Solomon’s day (see on 1 Kings 9:16).

Moved no more. This promise was conditional (see on verse 12).
