2 Samuel 7:11

German (Die Heilige Schrift (Schlachter 1951))

Und ich habe dir vor allen deinen Feinden Ruhe gegeben; und der HERR tut dir kund, daß Er dir ein Haus bauen will.

Was bedeutet das?

In this verse, God is speaking to King David. God reminds David of his protection and promises to establish his lineage, creating a dynasty. This means that David’s descendants will continue to rule.

Für Kinder erklärt

Imagine you have a toy house, and your friend says, 'I will make you a bigger house with more rooms.' That's what God is telling King David, but instead of a house, He's talking about a big family that will keep ruling for a long time.

Historischer Hintergrund

The book of 2 Samuel was written by the prophet Nathan, Gad, and possibly Jeremiah. It was written around 850-550 BC, after King David’s reign. This passage is part of a larger narrative about God's covenant with David and his descendants.

Anwendung für heute

Today, this verse can remind us that God can make promises and fulfill them over generations. For example, a family can pass down values and traditions, just like David’s house passed down the kingdom.
