Exegesis
The conjunction vayomer lahem {וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם | váy·yō·mer lā·hem} introduces direct speech, with the demonstrative hinneh {הִנֵּה | hin·nēh} emphasizing the announcement of ben-ha-melekh yimlokh {בֶן־הַמֶּלֶךְ יִמְלֹךְ | ben·ha·me·l·ekh yim·lō·ḵ}, and the clause ka-asher dibber YHWH {כַאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר יְהוָה | ka·’a·šer dib·ber yə·hō·wāh} anchoring the promise in divine speech, underscoring covenant continuity and Davidic legitimacy.
