tn Heb “did.”

tn Heb “and it was with the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the Lord God of Israel.”

sn On the significance of the Lord’s “name,” see the note on the word “live” in v. 5.

tn Heb “your son, the one who came out of your body, he will build the temple for my name.”

tn Heb “[you] who kept to your servant David my father that which you spoke to him.”

tn Heb “you spoke by your mouth and by your hand you fulfilled, as this day.”

tn Heb “for my name to be there perpetually [or perhaps, “forever”].”

tn Heb “and my eyes and my heart will be there all the days.”

tn Heb “As for you, if you walk before me, as David your father walked, by doing all which I commanded you, [and] you keep my rules and my regulations.”

sn Verse 17 is actually a lengthy protasis (“if” section) of a conditional sentence, the apodosis (“then” section) of which appears in v. 18.
