17:13 I will become his father and he will become my son. I will never withhold my loyal love from him, as I withheld it from the one who ruled before you. 1 17:14 I will put him in permanent charge of my house and my kingdom; his dynasty will be permanent.”’” 2
1 snThe one who ruled before you is a reference to Saul, from whom the kingdom was taken and given to David.
