• 1 Chron. 17:13 is very remarkable. God says: "I will be his father, and he shall be my son," a passage which is cited in Heb. 1:5 in reference to Christ and concerning God's counsels regarding His Anointed. This same passage in 2 Sam. 7:14 applies to the fallible and responsible king. (“David's Prayer: 1 Chronicles 17” by H.L. Rossier)
