2 Samuel 7:16

Your house and your kingdom will stand before me ¹  permanently; your dynasty ²  will be permanent.’”

Ge 49:10; 2Sa 7:13; 2Ki 19:34; 1Ch 17:13,14; Ps 45:6; Ps 72:5,17-19; Ps 89:36,37; Isa 9:7; Da 2:44; Da 7:14; Mt 16:18; Lu 1:32,33; Joh 12:34; Heb 1:8; Re 11:15

¹ tc 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.

² tn Heb “throne.”
