Context of 2 Samuel 7:15
13He will build a house for My Name, and I will establish his royal throne forever. 14I will be a father to him, and he will be a son to Me. If he commits iniquity, I will correct him with the rod of men and with the strokes from sons of men. Yet My lovingkindness will not be withdrawn from him as I withdrew it from Saul, whom I removed from before you. 16So your house and your kingship will be secure forever before you; your throne will be established forever.” 17Just so Nathan spoke all these words and all this vision to David.
