2 Samuel 7:11-17

11ever since I appointed judges to rule my people Israel. So I will give you peace with all your enemies. I, the Lord, tell you that I will make a house for you.

12“ ‘When the time comes for you to lie down in death with your ancestors, I will send one of your descendants, ⌞one⌟ who will come from you. I will establish his kingdom.

13He will build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

14I will be his Father, and he will be my Son. If he sins, I will punish him with a rod and with blows inflicted by people.

15But I will never stop showing him my love as I did to Saul, whom I took out of your way.

16Your royal house will remain in my presence  forever. Your throne will be established forever.’ ”

17Nathan told David all these words and everything he had seen.
