Commentary

Commentary on 1 Chronicles 28:4

Theological / Devotional

Chose me. See 1 Sam. 16:1.

For ever. See on 2 Sam. 7:12, 13, 16. Through Christ, the Seed of David, the throne of David will be established forever (see Luke 1:32, 33; John 12:34). What literal Israel forfeited, first through national apostasy, and further through rejecting Jesus, will be fulfilled in the kingdom of spiritual Israel (on the conditional aspect of these promises, see on v. 7).

Chosen Judah. Compare Gen. 49:8-10; 1 Chron. 5:2; Ps. 60:7 ; 78:67, 68.
