7:12 thy seed. As with many Old Testament prophecies, this remarkable “Davidic Covenant” has both a near and far application. Solomon was David’s “seed,” and he did “build an house for my name,” but the ultimate fulfillment is in the greater “Son of David,” the Lord Jesus Christ, who was “a son over His own house; whose house are we” (Hebrews 3:6).

7:14 my son. Here is an ancient testimony that this son of David would also be uniquely “the Son of God,” as cited and confirmed in Hebrews 1:5.

7:14 commit iniquity. Christ never committed iniquity, but “He was bruised for our iniquities,” for “the LORD hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all” (Isaiah 53:5,6).

7:16 for ever before. As the angel Gabriel promised Mary: “He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And He shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of His kingdom there shall be no end” (Luke 1:32-33).
