1 Chronicles 17:11-16

11And it shall come to pass that when your days are completed and you must go to be with your fathers [in death], I will raise up one of your descendants after you, one of your own sons; and I will establish his kingdom.

12He shall build Me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.

13I will be his father and he shall be My son; and I will not take My steadfast love and mercy away from him, as I took it from him (King Saul) who was before you.

14But I will settle him in My house and in My kingdom forever, and his throne shall be established forevermore.” ’ ”

16Then David the king went in and sat before the Lord and said, “Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house and family that You have brought me this far?
