And when Andis not in the Hebrew text; perhaps and it shall come to pass, which is found in the LXX., has dropped out. Nathan now passes on from recounting God's past mercies to Israel and David to a direct prophecy concerning the establishment of David's house.

I will set up thy seed First Solomon, who recognises the fulfilment of this promise in his elevation to the throne (1 Kings 8:15-20); then the line of David's descendants who succeeded him on the throne of Judah; and finally Christ, in whom the prophecy reaches its highest fulfilment. See Luke 1:31-33; Acts 2:29-31; Acts 13:22-23.
