Exegesis
The prophetic formula kōh-tō·mār {כֹּֽה־תֹאמַ֞ר | kōh-tō·mār} ‘thus you shall say’ issues an imperative introduction to speech, followed by the address lə-ʿăv·dî lə-dā·wîd {לְעַבְדִּ֣י לְדָוִ֗יד | lə-ʿăv·dî lə-dā·wîd} ‘to My servant David.’
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.’
