Exegesis
Two Hiphil infinitives, le-hakim {לְהָקִים | lə-hā-qîm} ‘to raise up’ and u-le-hamid {וּלְהַעֲמִיד | ū-lə-ḥa-‘ā-mîḏ} ‘and to establish,’ form complementary purpose clauses indicating succession (beno acharav {בְּנוֹ אַחֲרָיו | bə-nō ’a-ḥa-rāw} ‘his son after him’) and urban foundation. The structure underscores divine provision for maintaining both royal lineage and the stability of the city.
In context — 1 Kings 15:4
Yet for the sake of David, the LORD his God granted him a lamp in Jerusalem, raising up his son after him and keeping Jerusalem established.
