1 Chronicles 17:9-14

9And I will provide a homeland for my people Israel, planting them in a secure place where they will never be disturbed. Evil nations won’t oppress them as they’ve done in the past,

10starting from the time I appointed judges to rule my people Israel. And I will defeat all your enemies. “‘Furthermore, I declare that the Lord will build a house for you—a dynasty of kings!

11For when you die and join your ancestors, I will raise up one of your descendants, one of your sons, and I will make his kingdom strong.

12He is the one who will build a house—a temple—for me. And I will secure his throne forever.

13I will be his father, and he will be my son. I will never take my favor from him as I took it from the one who ruled before you.

14I will confirm him as king over my house and my kingdom for all time, and his throne will be secure forever.’”
