Acts 13:22-23

Expanded Bible

²² After God ·took him away [removed/deposed him], God ·made David [^Lraised up David as] their king [2 Sam. 2—7]. God ·said [witnessed; testified] about him: ‘I have found in David son of Jesse ·the kind of man I want [a man whose heart is like mine; ^Ta man after my own heart; 1 Sam. 13:14; Ps. 89:20]. He will ·do [or accomplish] all ·I want him to do [^Lmy will].’ ²³ So God has brought Jesus, one of David’s ·descendants [^Lseed], to Israel to be its Savior, as he promised [2 Sam. 7:12–16; Is. 11:1–16].
