Geneva Bible Notes (1560)2 Samuel 7

2 ! Dauid wolde buylde God an house, but is forbidden by the Prophet Nathan.

5 b Meaning he shulde not: yet Nathan speaking according to mans judgement and not by the Spirit of prophecie, permitted him.

7 c As concerning the buylding of an house: meaning that without Gods express word nothing oght to be attempted.

19 h Cometh not this rather of thy fre mercie, then of anie worthines that can be in man?

19 l From the Egyptians and their idoles.

23 i O Israel.

24 m He sheweth that Gods fre election is the onely cause, why the Israelites were chosen to be his people.

26 n This praier is moste effectual, when we chiefly seke Gods glorie, and the accomplishement of his promes.
