Commentary

2 notes on this verse
Now, my son, the Lord be with thee, &c. Or "shall be with thee" (r), as some; and if it be as a prayer, it was no doubt a prayer of faith; the Targum is,"may the Word of the Lord be thine help:" and prosper thee; may success attend thee: and build the house of the Lord thy God, as he hath said of thee; foretold he should, and therefore would assist him to do it, which was an encouragement to go about it.

may the LORD be with you

on 1 Chronicles 22:11-13

David charges Solomon, “Be strong and courageous”, the words the LORD gave Joshua in Joshua 1:6-9 for taking a land. David's deathbed words in 1 Kings 2:2-3 also tell Solomon to be strong. Kings then turns to Joab and Shimei, and Chronicles keeps only the temple charge.
