# Connecting Statement:

King Solomon continues praying.

# carry out what you have promised

This is a request. To carry out what one has said is an idiom meaning to do what one has said. Alternate translation: "please do what you have promised" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-idiom]])

# You will not fail to have a man

"you will always have a descendant"

# a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel

The phrase "in my sight" here implies that God would choose the man and the man would want to obey God. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])

# to sit on the throne of Israel

The throne is a metonym for the activity of the one who sits on the throne. Alternate translation: "to rule over Israel" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])

# to walk in my law, as you have walked before me

The way a person behaves is spoken of as if that person were walking on a path. Alternate translation: "to obey my law, as you have obeyed me" or "to be faithful to my law as you have been faithful to me" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
