28:20 David said to his son Solomon: “Be strong and brave! Do it! Don’t be afraid and don’t panic! ⁷  For the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not leave you or abandon you before all the work for the service of the Lord’s temple is finished.

[17:21]  ¹ tn Heb “a nation, one.”

[17:21]  ⁴ tn Heb “to make for yourself a name [with] great and awesome [deeds].”

[17:21]  ⁵ tn Heb “to drive out.”
