Exegesis
The main verb egeiren {ἤγειρεν | hḗgeiren} “he raised” presents God’s decisive act of installing a new ruler, with ton Dauid autois {τὸν Δαυὶδ αὐτοῖς | tón Dauíd autoîs} placing the direct object “David” before the indirect object “to them” for emphasis on the chosen figure.
The accusative phrase ton tou Iessai andra {τὸν τοῦ Ἰεσσαί ἄνδρα | tón tou Iessaí ándra} “the man of Jesse” is appositional, identifying David by his lineage.
