(2) Do.Samuel, Go, do.
All that is in thine heart.According to Hebrew ideas, the heart was the seat of the mind and will, as well as of the emotions. But even the great Greek Aristotle, seven centuries later than David, supposed the brain to be merely a kind of cooling counterpoise to the heat of the liver.
God.Samuel, Jehovah; but in last verse, ark of God.

Let us pause over this view of Nathan, just to observe how delightful appears the character of a faithful minister of Christ, to be always ready to help forward the pious intentions of their people. Nathan concluded that this thought of David must (as no doubt it did) have arisen from the gracious influence of the Lord’s Spirit upon the mind. And though Nathan had not been to ask counsel of God at a throne of grace, before he gave an answer, (which no doubt would have been wiser) yet the prophet did not err in his conclusion, that God was with him.

17:2 Then Nathan said unto David, Do {c} all that [is] in thine heart; for God [is] with thee.
(c) As yet God had not revealed to the prophet what he purposed concerning David, therefore seeing God favoured David, he spoke what he thought.
