# General Information:

Here "I" refers to God, who spoke through the words of his prophet.

# I will build again the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down ... its ruins again

This speaks of God's again choosing one of David's descendants to rule over his people as though he were setting up a tent again after it fell down. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

# tabernacle

Here the word "tabernacle," a dwelling place, stands for David's family. The same word is used for the tent that Yahweh told Moses to construct. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
