I Chronicles 22:10

*He shall build a house to my name, and he shall be a son to me, and I will be a father to him: and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever.

2 Kings 7:13.; 3 Kings 5:5.

Name. See 2 Kings 7:13. (Menochius) --- A son. The crimes into which Solomon fell, hinder us from explaining this literally of him. St. Paul refers the expression to Jesus Christ, Hebrews 1:5. (Calmet) --- St. Augustine (de C.[City of God?] 17:8 and 9.) observes that the promises were not perfectly fulfilled in Solomon.
