| 7. Formal Translation Yet the LORD {Yahweh, Covenant Rememberer} was not willing to destroy the house of David, for the sake of the covenant that He made with David, and as He said, to give him a lamp and to his sons for all the days. |
| 7. Dynamic Translation Even so, the LORD {Yahweh, Line Preserver} refused to wipe out David’s family because of the covenant He made with David; He had promised to give him a lamp and to his sons for all time. |
