# Connecting Statement:

Yahweh continues describing his promises to King David through the prophet Nathan.

# I will not take my covenant faithfulness away from him, as I took it from Saul

The abstract noun "faithfulness" can be translated as "faithfully." Alternate translation: "I will never stop faithfully loving him, as I stopped loving Saul" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-abstractnouns]])
