Exegesis
lefanekha {מֵאֲשֶׁר הָיָה לְפָנֶיךָ | mē-’ă-šer hā-yāh lə-pā-nê-kha} ‘from whomever was before you,’ contrasting a past action with a future promise. The use of imperfect forms emphasizes future certainty, while the perfect underscores a completed historical precedent.
In context — 1 Chronicles 17:13
I will be to him as a father, and he will be to me as a son. And my steadfast love I will not remove from him, just as I removed it from him who was before you.
