Context of 1 Chronicles 17:11

9I have chosen a place where my people Israel will live. I have put them in that place, were they can be safe. They will not be afraid of trouble from any enemy. Wicked people will not hurt them any more. That happened in the past, 10from the time that I chose leaders to rule my people Israel. But now I will cause all your enemies to be weak. I say to you, David: the Lord will give you descendants who will rule as kings after you. That will be the royal house that I build for you. When you die, people will bury you in the grave of your ancestors. Then I will choose your descendant, one of your own sons, to become king. I will make his kingdom strong. 12He is the man who will build a house for me. And I will cause his descendants to rule as kings for ever. 13I will be his father and he will be my son. I will never remove my faithful love from him, as I took it away from the king who ruled before you.
