Exegesis
The final segment vekaasher amar latet lo nir {וְכַאֲשֶׁר אָמַר לָתֵת ל֥וֹ נִיר | wə-ḵaʾăšer ʾāmar lāṯēṯ lô nîr} ties the preservation of David’s house to YHWH’s spoken promise, with vekaasher {וְכַאֲשֶׁר | wə-ḵaʾăšer} carrying an explanatory sense (“as/since He said”).
In context — 2 Chronicles 21:7
Yet the LORD 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.
