Exegesis
Parallel purpose clauses lemaʿani {לְמַעֲנִי | le-ma-ʿa-nî} and ulemaʿan {וּלְמַעַן | wə-le-ma-ʿan} link divine self-interest to covenantal loyalty via David. English preserves Hebrew word order to maintain cause–effect and covenant emphasis.
In context — 2 Kings 19:34
And I will defend this city to save it, for My sake and for the sake of David My servant .
