Exegesis
Finally, ʿal ʿam-mî yiś-rā·ʼēl {עַ֖ל עַמִּי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל | ʿal ʿam-mî yiś-rā·ʼēl} ‘over My people Israel’ places the appointed leader in authority. The Hebrew repetition of kōh and the double min-min structure add rhetorical force, preserved in English through parallel phrasing.
In context — 1 Chronicles 17:7
And now thus you shall say to My servant David, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts : I took you from the pasture , from following the flock, to be ruler over My people Israel.’
