Exegesis
The middle line is arranged as balanced reciprocal membership: yihyeh-li {יִהְיֶה־לִּי | yi·hyeh·lî} lə-ven {לְבֵן | lə·bên} is matched by wa-ʾani-lo {וַאֲנִי־לּוֹ | wa·ʾănî·lō} lə-ʾav {לְאָב | lə·ʾāḇ}, a parallel structure that foregrounds covenant adoption and relational legitimacy.
In context — 1 Chronicles 22:10
He will build a house for My name, and he will be to Me as a son, and I will be to him as a father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.
