Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 18. - And will be a Father unto you. These reminiscences are sufficiently near to 2 Samuel 7:8-14; Isaiah 43:6; Jeremiah 31:9, to render needless the supposition that they come from any apocryphal book (Ewald) or Jewish hymn (Grotius). Saith the Lord Almighty. The phrase, not elsewhere used by St. Paul, is taken from 2 Samuel 7:8 (LXX.). The epithet indicates the certain fulfilment of the promises. Pantokrator, for "Almighty," is used in the LXX. for "Lord of sabaoth," and in the New Testament only occurs elsewhere in the Apocalypse.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(18) And will be a Father unto you . . .--Again we have, as it were, a mosaic of citations: "I will be a Father. . . ." from 2Samuel 7:14; "Sons and daughters" from Isaiah 43:6; "Saith the Lord Almighty" from the Greek of 2Samuel 7:8. It may be noted as not without interest that the Greek word rendered "Almighty" here, and "Omnipotent" in Revelation 19:6, is commonly used in the LXX. as an equivalent for the Hebrew "Lord of Hosts" or "Lord of Sabaoth."
