Exegesis
The final clause uses the vav-consecutive Qal perfect ve’asiti {וְעָשִׂיתִי | wə-ʿā-sî-tî} ‘and I will make’ to introduce a future promise, with ke-shem {כְּשֵׁם | ke-shem} ‘like’ forming a comparative construct with shem ha-ged-o-lîm {שֵׁם הַגְּדוֹלִים | shem ha-ged-o-lîm} ‘the name of the great ones’ and the locative ba-aretz {בָּאָרֶץ׃ | bā-’ā-reṣ} ‘in the land’, emphasizing the extent of promised honor.
In context — 1 Chronicles 17:8
And I have been with you in all that you have gone, and I have cut off all your enemies from before you. And I will make for you a name like the name of the great ones who are in the land.
