Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Samuel 7:12

12 ¶ And when thy days be fulfilled , and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee , which shall proceed out of thy bowels , and I will establish his kingdom.

When the time of thy life shall expire. This Phrase implies, that his days shall be compleated and prolonged to the usual course and stint of Nature, and not out off in the midst, by any violent or untimely death.

I will set up in thy stead and Throne, thy Posterity, first Solomon, and then others successively, and at last the Me[illegible: 1+ letters]sias. So the following words may be understood diversly, part of his Posterity in general or indefinitely taken; part of Solomon, and part of Christ onely, according to the differing nature of the several passages.

Out of thy inward parts, or from thy Loins, who shall be begotten by thee.
