Exegesis
The phrase lə-ma‘alāh {לְמַעְלָה | lə·ma·‘ā·lā(h)} ‘above’ is a prepositional complement, and ba‘ăvūr {בַּעֲב֖וּר | ba·‘a·vūr} ‘for the sake of’ introduces purpose, marking ‘ammō {עַמּוֹ | ‘am·mō} ‘his people’ as beneficiary. This structure underscores both divine agency in elevating David’s rule and the communal purpose behind the exaltation.
In context — 1 Chronicles 14:2
And David knew that the LORD had established him as king over Israel, for his kingdom had been exalted on high for the sake of his people Israel.
