2 Samuel 7:11-16 ▼

11 and during the time when I appointed judges to lead my people Israel. Instead, I will give you relief from all your enemies. The LORD declares to you that he himself will build a dynastic house for you.

12 When the time comes for you to die, I will raise up your descendant, one of your own sons, to succeed you, and I will establish his kingdom.

13 He will build a house for my name, and I will make his dynasty permanent.

14 I will become his father and he will become my son. When he sins, I will correct him with the rod of men and with wounds inflicted by human beings.

15 But my loyal love will not be removed from him as I removed it from Saul, whom I removed from before you.

16 Your house and your kingdom will stand before me permanently; your dynasty will be permanent.'|
