(18) As I have covenanted with.—Heb. kârattî lĕ, “Icut (a covenant) for.” The word bĕrîth, “covenant,” is omitted, as in 2Ch_5:10. So LXX., ὡς διεθέμην Δαυιδ τῷ πατρί σου. Syriac, “As I sware to David.” Kings: “As I spake concerning David” (kârattî may be an ancient misreading of dibbartî, “I spake;” the two being much alike in Heb. writing).
Ruler in Israel (môshçl).—Kings, “From upon the throne of Israel.” The chronicler has substituted a reminiscence of Mic_5:1, probably correcting a defective text, the word throne having fallen out. Syriac, “who standeth on the throne of Israel.”
