A Promise for Two Sons
Commentators explain that this promise has a dual fulfillment. While it applied directly to Solomon, who would build the physical temple, it points ultimately to Jesus Christ. The New Testament explicitly applies the 'he shall be my son' language to Jesus (Hebrews 1:5), showing that Christ is the ultimate Son who builds God's eternal house and whose kingdom is truly 'for ever.'
