# But my covenant faithfulness will not leave him, as I took it from Saul

# from before you

If in [2 Samuel 7:8](../07/08.md) and [2 Samuel 7:9](../07/09.md) you translated the direct quotations as indirect quotation, then here you may need to translate "you" as "David" or "him" or "his" as in the UDB. Alternate translation: "from before David. David's house ... before him." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-quotations]])
