Greek Commentary for Acts 13:22
First aorist active participle of μετιστημι methistēmi old verb to transfer, to transpose (note force of μετα meta). This verb occurs in Luke 16:4 by the unjust steward about his removal from office. Cf. 1 Samuel 15:16. [source]
As or for, Greek idiom like the Hebrew ανδρα κατα την καρδιαν μου le common in the lxx. A man after my heart (τεληματα andra kata tēn kardian mou). The words quoted by Paul as a direct saying of God are a combination of Psalm 89:20, Psalm 89:21; 1 Samuel 13:14 (the word of the Lord to Samuel about David). Knowling thinks that this free and rather loose quotation of the substance argues for the genuineness of the report of Paul‘s sermon. Hackett observes that the commendation of David is not absolute, but, as compared with the disobedient Saul, he was a man who did God‘s will in spite of the gross sin of which he repented (Ps 51). Note “wills” (thelēmata), plural, of God. [source]

Lit., in every will. Will means the thing willed, as Luke 12:47; 1Thessalonians href="/desk/?q=1th+5:18&sr=1">1 Thessalonians 5:18. Hence used sometimes in the plural, as Acts 13:22, shall do all my will ( θελήματα ), i.e., perform all the things willed by me. Ephesians 2:3, desires, strictly willings. So here the sense is, everything willed by God. The connection is apparently with σταθῆτε yemay stand. For a similar construction see John 8:44; Romans 5:2; 1 Corinthians 15:1; 1 Corinthians 16:13. As Meyer observes, this connection gives stand both a modal definition (perfect and fully assured) and a local definition (in all the will). [source]
The word occurs five times in the New Testament: of putting out of the stewardship, Luke 16:4; of the removal of Saul from the kingdom, Acts 13:22; of Paul turning away much people, Acts 19:26; and of removing mountains, 1 Corinthians 13:2. A change of kingdoms is indicated. [source]
