Source-reported third person feminine singular segment

The finite first-person form presents the Lord as speaker and actor in the promise to David. The local source label also reports a 3fs segment, but the clause supplies all your enemies as a separate plural object and offers no clear feminine singular referent, so the guide preserves the label without inventing one.

The action recalls the Lord's removal of David's enemies as part of the divine past that grounds the promise to make David a great name.

The verb continues the Lord's I have been with you declaration and precedes the promise to make David a great name.

The divine message through Nathan that rehearses God's past action and announces the house promise.

It presents the Lord as the one who removed David's enemies and names all your enemies in the following phrase as the affected group.

It does not supply a visible feminine singular object, authorize readers to name opponents as covenant enemies, or make David's past victories a universal promise of political success.

High: The clause is central to the Davidic promise and contains a source morphology segment that the explicit syntax does not resolve.

First-person consecutive form with separately expressed plural object. presents God removing all David's enemies from before him. Attached to the Lord's recital of presence with David. Governed by Nathan's divine message before the house promise. The source-reported 3fs segment has no clear local feminine referent.

Does the final 3fs label point to someone in the verse? The clause does not identify such a person; it clearly names the Lord as subject and all David's enemies as the plural object.

Supporting: The first-person verbal form and following object support I have cut off all your enemies, while the extra source label is not represented separately in English.

The local BSB+ morphology must be preserved even when one segment does not map cleanly onto the clause. The explicit plural object should not be replaced with a conjectured feminine singular object. The historical promise to David is not a generic formula for triumph.

3Fs proves a hidden feminine participant: State that the local context provides no clear referent and avoid invention. the anomaly invalidates the clear clause: Retain the first-person subject, explicit plural object, and honest note about the unresolved label. David's enemy removal promises my victory: Interpret application through the whole Davidic promise and wider canon, not direct self-identification.

2 Samuel 7:9 token 6 is וָאַכְרִ֥תָה, H3772, parsed Conj-w | V-Hifil-ConsecImperf-1cs | 3fs and aligned with and I have cut off.

כָּרַת can describe cutting or cutting off; the explicit enemy object gives the removal sense in this clause.

The Lord speaks in the first person, and all your enemies follows as the expressed object. Because no feminine singular participant controls the final reported segment, this guide records rather than resolves that label.

God reminds David of divine presence and victories, then promises a great name and proceeds to the larger house and kingdom declaration.

The Davidic promise contributes to the canonical hope of kingship fulfilled in Christ, but neither the unresolved segment nor the enemy-removal clause alone carries that full theology.

Model source honesty by distinguishing what the row reports, what the clause clearly establishes, and what the local evidence does not resolve.

Do not invent a feminine referent, erase the parsing tension, or use David's promise to bless nationalism, personal ambition, or violence.
