I will raise up a descendant after you

Yahweh appointing David's descendant is spoken of as if Yahweh would raise or lift him up. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)

one who will come out from your body

This is an idiom that means the person will be David's descendant. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom)
