SIBI-P1 Translation G936-07

he will reign as king

Morphological NotesVerb; future tense, active voice, indicative mood, 3rd person singular (Gr,V,IFA3,,S,)—indicating that he/she/it will perform the action of reigning.
Rendering RationaleThe future active indicative, third person singular, denotes a forthcoming action performed by the subject. "Reign as king" preserves the verbal sense of exercising royal authority inherent in βασιλεύω, rather than a generic "rule."
