1 Chronicles 22:11

Ver. 11. Now, my son, the Lord be with thee, &c. Or "shall be with thee" {r}, as some; and if it be as a prayer, 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} yhy "erit", Pagninus, Montanus; "futurus est", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator.
