David continues to speak to the Israelites.

He said to me

AT: "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. AT: "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)

my commandments and decrees

These two words basically mean the same thing and are used together to emphasize the importance of doing what God says. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet)

as you are this day

The word "you" here refers to David. AT: "just as you are committed this day" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)
