1 CHRONICLES 17:10 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Moreover I will subdue all thine enemies. Furthermore I tell thee that the Lord will build thee an house.”
'And I will appoint a place for my people Israel and will plant them, so that they may live in their own place, and be disturbed no more; and evildoers shall wear them out no more, as they did formerly' — territorial promise and security unite. Hebrew 'nata' (plant) suggests permanent rooting; Israel's wandering ends in settled habitation. Promise of freedom from foreign oppression is eschatological.
