2 Samuel 7:8-16 ▼

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

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

10 And I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and I will plant him, that he may dwell in in his place and not be disturbed anymore, and the sons of wickedness will not add to afflict him as at first.

11 And since the time that I commanded judges over My people Israel, and have brought rest for you from all your enemies. And YHWH declares to you that YHWH will make for you a house.

12 When your days are fulfilled and you rest with your fathers, I will set up your seed after you who will come from your bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.

13 He will build a house for My name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom even to forever.

14 I will be his Father, and he will be My son. If he commits iniquity, I will churry him with the rod of men and with the blows of the sons of man,

15 And My loving devotion shall not depart from him as I took it from Saul, whom I turned aside from before you.

16 And your house and your kingdom will endure even to forever before My face. Your throne will be established even to forever.”
