2 Samuel 7:12-13

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 

2 Samuel 7:16

7:16 Your house and your kingdom will stand before me ⁴  permanently; your dynasty ⁵  will be permanent.’”

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

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

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

⁴ 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.

⁵ tn Heb “throne.”
