God’s Covenant with David

⁸ Now then, this is what you shall say to My servant David: ‘This is what the Lord of armies says: “^(A)I Myself took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, ^(B)to be leader over My people Israel.

⁹ And ^(A)I have been with you wherever you have gone, and ^(B)have eliminated all your enemies from you; I will also make a great name for you, like the names of the great men who ^[a]are on the earth.
