The first promise to “dwell among” the Israelites had been made to Moses Exo 25:8; Exo 29:45, but had not been repeated to David. The next promise, “I will not forsake, etc.,” if not absolutely new, seems to have been more positive and general than previous similar promises Deu 31:6, Deu 31:8; Jos 1:5. God will not at any time or under any circumstances wholly forsake Israel.

13. and I will dwell among the children of Israel] This is an expansion of the promise made to David. The same words are used (Exo_29:45) in connexion with the furnishing and completion of the tabernacle. As God’s presence in both Tabernacle and Temple was to point on to the Incarnation, the fitness of the phrase on both occasions is manifest.
and will not forsake my people Israel] The threat that God would do so, if Israel were disobedient, is found Deu_31:17.

And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel cf. Deu_31:6. A fresh element is here introduced into the promise, arising out of the erection of the temple. God had pledged His presence to the tabernacle (Exo_25:8 Exo_29:45; Lev_26:11) And the temple was reared to be His dwelling (1Ki_8:13; 2Ch_6:2) He now assures the royal builder that he will occupy it.
