Now, my son, the Lord be with thee, etc. Or “shall be with thee” , as some; and if it be as a prayer, it was no doubt a prayer of faith; the Targum is, f91 “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.
