Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Samuel 7:14

14 I will be his father, and he shall be my son : if he commit iniquity , I will chasten him with the rod of men , and with the stripes of the children of men:

I will carry my self towards him as becomes a Father, with all affection and tenderness, and I will own him as my Son. This is intended both of Solomon, as a Type of Christ; and of Christ himself, as is evident from Heb. 1. 5.

This agrees onely to Solomon and some others of David's Posterity; but not to Christ, who never committed iniquity, as Solomon did, who therein was no Type of Christ, and therefore this branch is terminated in Solomon; whereas in those things wherein Solomon was a Type of Christ, the sense passeth thorough Solomon unto Christ.

Either, First, With such Rods as men use to correct their Sons, or to beat other Men: which are here opposed to the Rods or Strokes which an angry God inflicts. See Iob 23. 6. Psal. 39. 11. Isa. 47. 3. Rom. 9. 22. Heb. 10. 31. and 12. 29. Or, Secondly, With such Rods as are gentle and moderate, and suited to Mans weakness; as a tolerable and resistible temptation is called human, or common to men, 1 Cor. 10. 13.
