Exegesis
The verbless clause šəlōmōh bənî nāʿar wārāḥ {שְׁלֹמֹה בְנִי נַעַר וָרָךְ | šəlōmōh bənî nāʿar wārāḥ} places Solomon’s youth and tenderness before an implicit copula, emphasizing his vulnerability.
In context — 1 Chronicles 22:5
And David said, “Solomon my son is young and tender , and the house to be built for the LORD must be made extraordinarily magnificent, bringing honor and glory across all the lands. Therefore I will prepare it.” So David prepared abundantly before his death.
