2 Samuel 7:8-16

8Now then, this is what you shall say to My servant David: ‘This is what the Lord of armies says: “1I Myself took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, 2to be leader over My people Israel.

9And 3I have been with you wherever you have gone, and 4have eliminated all your enemies from you; I will also make a great name for you, like the names of the great men who 5are on the earth.

10And I will establish a place for My people Israel, and 6will plant them, so that they may live in their own place and not be disturbed again, 7nor will 8malicious people oppress them anymore as previously,

11even 9from the day that I appointed judges over My people Israel; and 10I will give you rest from all your enemies. The Lord also declares to you that 11the Lord will make a house for you.

1212When your days are finished and you 1314lie down with your fathers, 15I will raise up your 16descendant after you, who will come from 17you, and I will establish his kingdom.

1318He shall build a house for My name, and 19I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

1420I will be a father to him and he will be a son to Me; 21when he does wrong, I will discipline him with a rod of men and with strokes of sons of mankind,

15but My favor shall not depart from him, 22as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from you.

1623Your house and your kingdom shall endure before 24Me forever; your throne shall be established forever.”’”
