Exegesis
The verse opens with the explanatory clause ou gar Dauid anebe eis tous ouranous {οὐ γὰρ Δαυὶδ ἀνέβη εἰς τοὺς οὐρανούς | ou gàr Dauìd a-né-bē eis toùs ou-ra-noús}, where gar connects back to the preceding argument about Jesus and provides the rationale, while ou negates the aorist verb anebe to state that David himself never experienced an ascension into the heavenly realm. The proper name Dauid functions as the subject, and the prepositional phrase eis tous ouranous specifies the destination.
In context — Acts 2:34
For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says, “The Lord said to my Lord, ‘Sit at My right hand .’”
