 16And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.

1 Chron. 28:4‑5• 4Howbeit the Lord God of Israel chose me before all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever: for he hath chosen Judah to be the ruler; and of the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he liked me to make me king over all Israel:

• What a contrast between Nathan’s mediation and that of Joab through the woman of Tekoah (2 Sam. 14)! There all was ruse and lying in order to affect the king’s spirit and to flatter his hidden leanings, and in order eventually to substitute for David a deceitful and violent man as king over Israel. Here prudence suggests that which is to be done, but without wavering in the least from the truth. (“Meditations on 1 Kings-Introduction: Introduction” by H.L. Rossier)
