Charles Ellicott Commentary 2 Samuel 7:10

"And I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as at the first," — 2 Samuel 7:10 (ASV)

Will appoint ... will plant. —There is no change of tense in the original; read, have appointed, ... have planted.

And as since the time. —These words are connected with the last clause of the verse before. The Lord says that He had now given His people rest under David, not allowing the children of wickedness to afflict them any more as before time, when they were in Egypt, nor as in the troubled period of the judges, since the time that I commanded judges, etc.
