Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

1 Chronicles 17:14

But I will settle him (Heb., make him stand) in mine house and in my kingdom. — Samuel, “and thine house and thy kingdom shall be maintained for ever before thee; thy throne,” &c.; where, however, the LXX. and Syriac have “before me,” which agrees. better with our text. The change of persons in our verse brings out more clearly the theocratic nature of the Davidic kingdom. Solomon and his successors were to reign as vicegerents of Jehovah.
