Prophets in ancient Israel were often tasked with delivering God's messages to kings and the people. Nathan's relationship with David is significant, as he provides guidance and correction (<a href="/2_samuel/12.htm">2 Samuel 12:1-15</a>). This moment underscores the importance of prophetic authority and the divine communication channel between God and His chosen leaders. Nathan's obedience in delivering God's message reflects the role of prophets as faithful servants who convey God's will without alteration.<p><b>all the words</b><br>The phrase emphasizes the completeness and faithfulness of Nathan's message. In biblical times, prophets were expected to deliver God's words precisely as received, without omission or addition (<a href="/deuteronomy/18-18.htm">Deuteronomy 18:18-20</a>). This highlights the integrity and reliability of prophetic messages, ensuring that the recipient, in this case, David, receives the full counsel of God. The accuracy of prophetic communication is crucial for maintaining the trust and authority of God's word.<p><b>of this entire revelation</b><br>The term "revelation" indicates a divine disclosure of God's will and future plans.

Neither the compiler of Samuel, however, nor the chronicler professes to give an exact report of the words of Nathan, as if they had been taken down on the spot, as they were uttered, by some shorthand reporter. The modern demand for literal accuracy was unknown to Oriental antiquity. Where the two narratives vary, sometimes Samuel, sometimes the Chronicle, contains the more original form of the tradition. <a href="/1_chronicles/17-15.htm" title="According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak to David.">1Chronicles 17:15</a> (<a href="/2_samuel/7-17.htm" title="According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak to David.">2Samuel 7:17</a>), in fact, seems to imply that the essence rather than the actual words of the oracle is given.<p>2. David's prayer (<a href="/context/1_chronicles/17-16.htm" title="And David the king came and sat before the LORD, and said, Who am I, O LORD God, and what is my house, that you have brought me till now?">1Chronicles 17:16-27</a>). The remarks on <a href="/1_chronicles/17-15.htm" title="According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak to David.">1Chronicles 17:15</a> apply generally to this section also. The prayer undoubtedly breathes the genuine Davidic spirit, even if it be merely an ideal soliloquy. But why may not David himself have recorded the substance of it as a memorial? . . . <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/1_chronicles/17-15.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">According to all</span><br /><span class="heb">כְּכֹל֙</span> <span class="translit">(kə·ḵōl)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-k | Noun -
