# I commanded judges
|
|
|
|
After the people of Israel entered the land of Canaan and before they had kings to rule them, God appointed leaders called "judges" to lead them in times of trouble.

# to be over my people Israel
|
|
|
|
To be in authority is referred to as being over someone. Alternate translation: "to rule my people Israel" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])

# Now I will give you rest from all your enemies ... declare to you that I will make you a house

If in [2 Samuel 7:8](../07/08.md) and [2 Samuel 7:9](../07/09.md) you translated the direct quotations as indirect quotation, then here you may need to translate "you" as "him" or "his." Alternate translation: "Now I will give him rest from all his enemies ... declare to him that I will make him a house" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-quotesinquotes]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-quotations]])

# I will give you rest from all your enemies
|
|
|
|
"I will give you safety from all your enemies." Here "rest" is an abstract noun. Alternate translation: "I will make all your enemies stop attacking you" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns]])

# I will make you a house
|
|
|
|
Here the metonym "house" refers to David's ancestors continuing on as the rulers of Israel. In [2 Samuel 7:4](../07/04.md) Yahweh asked David if he would be the one to build a house for Yahweh. There "house" represented a temple. If your language has a word that can express both ideas, use it here and in 7:4. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
