An Updated Promise
Scholars note that this verse uses slightly different language than its parallel in 2 Samuel 7. For instance, 'who shall be of thy sons' is a later phrasing of the more direct 'which shall go forth from thy bowels.' The author of Chronicles appears to be updating the language of the original promise to make it more accessible for the readers of his day, showing the care taken to pass down God's word through generations.
