1 Chronicles 17:7-14

7NowH6258 thereforeH6258 thusH3541 shalt thou sayH559 unto my servantH5650 DavidH1732, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah of hostsH6635, I tookH3947 thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheepH6629, that thou shouldest beH1961 princeH5057 over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478:

8and I have beenH1961 with thee whithersoever thou hast goneH1980, and have cutH3772 off all thine enemiesH341 from before thee; and I will makeH6213 thee a nameH8034, like unto the nameH8034 of the greatH1419 ones that are in the earthH776.

9And I will appointH7760 a placeH4725 for my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and will plantH5193 them, that they may dwellH7931 in their own placeH4725, and be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the firstH7223,

10and as from the dayH3117 that I commandedH6680 judgesH8199 to be over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478; and I will subdueH3665 all thine enemiesH341. Moreover I tellH5046 thee that Jehovah will buildH1129 thee a houseH1004.

11And it shall come to pass, when thy daysH3117 are fulfilled that thou must go to beH1961 with thy fathersH1, that I will setH6965 up thy seedH2233 after thee, who shall beH1961 of thy sonsH1121; and I will establishH6965 his kingdomH4438.

12He shall buildH1129 me a houseH1004, and I will establishH3559 his throneH3678 for everH5769.

13I will beH1961 his fatherH1, and he shall beH1961 my sonH1121: and I will not take my lovingkindness awayH5493 from him, as I took it from him that wasH1961 before thee;

14but I will settle him in my houseH1004 and in my kingdomH4438 for everH5769; and his throneH3678 shall beH1961 establishedH3559 for everH5769.
