Charles Ellicott Commentary
"And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who spake with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hands fulfilled it, saying," — 2 Chronicles 6:4 (ASV)
Who hath with his hands fulfilled ... David. —Literally, who spake (“promised,” 2 Chronicles 6:10), by his mouth with David my father, and by his hands fulfilled. (See 1 Chronicles 11:2; 1 Chronicles 17:4–14.) The only variant in this verse is hands for hand. The unpointed text of Kings might be read in either way. (Compare 2 Chronicles 6:15, below.)
