2 Samuel 7:29

7:29 Now be willing to bless your servant’s dynasty 1  so that it may stand permanently before you, for you, O sovereign Lord, have spoken. By your blessing may your servant’s dynasty be blessed on into the future!” 2 

2 Samuel 12:19

12:19 When David saw that his servants were whispering to one another, he 3  realized that the child was dead. So David asked his servants, “Is the child dead?” They replied, “Yes, he’s dead.”

1 tn Heb “house” (again later in this verse). See the note on “dynastic house” in v. 27.

2 tn Or “permanently”; cf. NLT “it is an eternal blessing.”

3 tn Heb “David.” The name has been replaced in the translation by the pronoun (“he”) for stylistic reasons.
