2 Samuel 7:11-17

11starting from the time I appointed judges to rule my people Israel. And I will give you rest from all your enemies. “‘Furthermore, the Lord declares that he will make a house for you—a dynasty of kings!

12For when you die and are buried with your ancestors, I will raise up one of your descendants, your own offspring, and I will make his kingdom strong.

13He is the one who will build a house—a temple—for my name. And I will secure his royal throne forever.

14I will be his father, and he will be my son. If he sins, I will correct and discipline him with the rod, like any father would do.

15But my favor will not be taken from him as I took it from Saul, whom I removed from your sight.

16Your house and your kingdom will continue before me for all time, and your throne will be secure forever.’”

17So Nathan went back to David and told him everything the Lord had said in this vision.
