2 Samuel 7:14

I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men:

I will be his father, and he shall be my son - i:e., my procedure toward him will be kind, tender, and paternal (cf. Psalms 89:26).

If he commit iniquity, х 'ªsher (H834) bears the sense of "he" in various passages: Exodus 9:21; Joshua 15:16; Judges 1:12; 1 Samuel 11:7.] It cannot mean, if the Messiah commit iniquity, but whosoever of David's natural posterity shall do so, as is plainly determined, Psalms 89:30; Psalms 132:12.

I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men - i:e., the trials, calamities, and sufferings to which sinful men are subject.
