Wesley's Notes for 2 Samuel 7:25
7:24 Confirmed - Partly, by thy promises, and that sure covenant which thou hast made with them: and partly, by thy glorious works wrought on their behalf, as it appears this day. Their God - In a peculiar manner, and by special relation and covenant: for otherwise he is the God and father of all things.
7:26 Let thy name - That is, do thou never cease to manifest thyself to be the God and governor of Israel.
7:27 This prayer, &c. - That prayer that is found in the tongue only will not please God. It must be found in the heart. That must be lifted up and poured out before God.
