Context

2 Samuel 7:12-17

Context
7:12 When the time comes for you to die,¹ I will raise up your descendant, one of your own sons, to succeed you,² and I will establish his kingdom. 7:13 He will build a house for my name, and I will make his dynasty permanent.³ 7:14 I will become his father and he will become my son. When he sins, I will correct him with the rod of men and with wounds inflicted by human beings. 7:15 But my loyal love will not be removed from him as I removed it from Saul, whom I removed from before you. 7:16 Your house and your kingdom will stand before me⁴ permanently; your dynasty⁵ will be permanent.’” 7:17 Nathan told David all these words that were revealed to him.⁶

¹tn Heb, “when your days are full and you lie down with your ancestors.”

²tn Heb “your seed after you who comes out from your insides.”

³tn Heb “and I will establish the throne of his kingdom permanently.”

⁴tc Heb “before you.” A few medieval Hebrew mss read instead “before me,” which makes better sense contextually. (See also the LXX and the Syriac Peshitta.) The MT reading is probably the result of dittography (note the כ [kaf] at the beginning of the next form), with the extra כ then being interpreted as a pronominal suffix.

⁵tn Heb “throne.”

⁶tn Heb “according to all these words and according to all this revelation, so Nathan said to David.”
