1 Chronicles 22:11

WEB

Now, my son, may the Lord be with you and prosper you, and build the house of the Lord your God, as he has spoken concerning you.

KJV

Now, my son, the LORD be with thee; and prosper thou, and build the house of the LORD thy God, as he hath said of thee.

Commentary

Now, my son, the Lord be with thee, &c. Or "shall be with thee" (r), as some; and if it be as a p rayer, it was no doubt a prayer of faith; the Targum is,"may the Word of the Lord be thine help:" and prosper thee; may success attend thee: and build the house of the Lord thy God, as he hath said of thee; foretold he should, and therefore would assist him to do it, which was an encouragement to go about it. (r) "erit", Pagninus, Montanus; "futurus est", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator.
