Connecting Statement:
David continues speaking to the Israelites.
He said to me
"God said to me"
my house
The word "house" refers to the temple of Yahweh.
I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father
This does not mean that Solomon becomes an actual son of God, but it describes the personal relationship that he and God will have. Alternate translation: "I have chosen to treat him like a son, and I will be like a father to him" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
