1 Chronicles 17:8-12

Context
17:8 I was with you wherever you went and I defeated 1  all your enemies before you. Now I will make you as famous as the great men of the earth. 2  17:9 I will establish a place for my people Israel and settle 3  them there; they will live there and not be disturbed 4  anymore. Violent men will not oppress them again, as they did in the beginning 5  17:10 and during the time when I appointed judges to lead my people Israel. I will subdue all your enemies.

“‘“I declare to you that the Lord will build a dynastic house 6  for you! 17:11 When the time comes for you to die, 7  I will raise up your descendant, 8  one of your own sons, to succeed you, and I will establish his kingdom. 17:12 He will build me a house, and I will make his dynasty permanent. 9

[17:8]  1 tn Heb “cut off.”

[17:8]  2 tn Heb “and I will make for you a name like the name of the great men who are in the earth.”

[17:9]  3 tn Heb “plant.”

[17:9]  4 tn Heb “shaken.”

[17:9]  5 tn Heb “and sons of violence will no longer consume them as in the beginning.”

[17:10]  6 tn Here the word “house” is used in a metaphorical sense, referring to a royal dynasty. The Lord’s use of the word here plays off the literal sense that David had in mind as he contemplated building a temple (“house”) for the Lord. In the translation the adjective “dynastic” is supplied to indicate that the term is used metaphorically.

[17:11]  7 tn Heb “and it will be when your days are full to go with your ancestors.”

[17:11]  8 tn Heb “your seed.”

[17:12]  9 tn Heb “and I will establish his throne permanently.”
