1 Chronicles 17:7-14 ▼

7 And now, thus shalt thou say to my servant, to David, Thus said Jehovah of armies, I took thee from the dwelling from behind the flocks to be leader over my people Israel:

8 And I will be with thee in all which thou walkedst, and I will cut off all thine enemies from thy face, and I made to thee a name as the name of the great ones which are in the earth.

9 And I set a place for my people Israel, and I planted him, and he dwelt in his place, and he shall no more be disturbed; and the sons of evil shall not add to vex him, as in the beginning.

10 And to the days which I commanded judges over my people Israel; and I brought low all thine enemies. And I will announce to thee, and Jehovah will build a house to thee.

11 And it was When thy days were completed to go with thy fathers, and I raised up thy seed after thee, which shall be from thy sons; and I prepared his kingdom.

12 He shall build to me a house, and I prepared his throne even to forever.

13 I will be to him for father, and he shall be to me for son: and my mercy will I not remove from him as I removed from him being before thee.

14 And I caused him to stand in my house and in my kingdom even to forever: and his throne shall be set up even to forever.
