1 Chronicles 17:7-14 ▼

7 And now, thus shall you say to My servant David: Thus says YHWH of Hosts: I took you from the sheepfold, from after the sheep, to be ruler over My people Israel.

8 And I have been with you in all to which you have gone, and I have cut off all your enemies from before your face, and I will make for you a name like the name of the great men who are on the earth.

9 And I will set a place for My people Israel, and I will plant them, and they will settle in their place, and they shall not be disturbed anymore, nor shall the sons of wickedness oppress them anymore as at the beginning

10 and since the days that I appointed judges over My people Israel. And I will subdue all your enemies. And I declare to you that YHWH will build a house for you.

11 And it shall come to pass, when your days are fulfilled and you go with your fathers, that I will raise up your seed after you who will be from your sons, and I will establish his kingdom.

12 He will build for Me a house, and I will establish his throne even to forever.

13 I will be his Father, and he will be My son. And My loving devotion I will not turn aside from him as I turned it aside from him who was before you.

14 And I will establish him in My house and in My kingdom even to forever, and his throne will be established even to forever.”
