2 Samuel 7:9-10

I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest In the time of his banishment he was remarkably preserved by God. Moreover, I will appoint a place, &c. I will make room for them, whereas hitherto they have been much straitened and distressed by their enemies. Or, I have appointed a place for them, namely, the land of Canaan. And I will plant them Make them take root; I will establish them in their place and land. That they may move no more May no longer wander as they did in the wilderness. Neither shall the children of wickedness The idolatrous people round about them; afflict them any more as beforetime When they were in the land of Egypt. Thus, among the favours which God had vouchsafed, and would vouchsafe to David, he reckons his blessings to Israel, because they were great blessings to David; partly, because the strength and happiness of a king consists in the multitude and happiness of his people; and partly, because David was a man of a public spirit, and therefore no less affected with Israel's felicity than with his own.
