2 Samuel 7:1 And it cometh to pass, when the king sat in his house, and Jehovah hath given rest to him round about, from all his enemies,

Study Lenses

The verse centers on "cometh", "pass", "king", "house", "jehovah", "hath", "given", and "rest". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "cometh" and "pass", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The next verse adds "that the king saith unto Nathan the...", so "cometh" and "pass" should be read forward into that movement. In 2 Samuel context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "cometh" and "pass" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
