19. Formal Translation But the LORD {Yahweh, Covenant Keeper} was not willing to destroy Judah for the sake of David His servant, just as He had promised to give him a lamp for his sons all the days. |
19. Dynamic Translation Yet the LORD {Yahweh, Faithful Promise Giver} refused to wipe out Judah for the sake of His servant David, because He had promised that David’s descendants would always have a lamp. |
