2 Samuel 7:11-16 ▼

11 and from the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. I will cause you to rest from all your enemies. Moreover the LORD tells you that he will build you a house.

12 And it will come about when your days are fulfilled, and you sleep with your fathers, that I will raise up your descendant after you, who will come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom.

13 He will build a house for my name, and I will establish his throne forever.

14 I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with a human rod, and with the stripes from human beings;

15 but my loving kindness shall not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before you.

16 And your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before me, and your throne shall be established forever.|'|
