2 Samuel 7:11-16

New King James Version

^11 (A)since the time that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel, and have caused you to rest from all your enemies. Also the Lord ^[a]tells you ^(B)that He will make you a ^[b]house.

^12 (C)“When your days are fulfilled and you ^(D)rest with your fathers, ^(E)I will set up your seed after you, who will come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. ^13 (F)He shall build a house for My name, and I will ^(G)establish the throne of his kingdom forever. ^14 (H)I will be his Father, and he shall be ^(I)My son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men and with the ^[c]blows of the sons of men. ¹⁵ But My mercy shall not depart from him, ^(J)as I took it from Saul, whom I removed from before you. ¹⁶ And ^(K)your house and your kingdom shall be established forever before ^[d]you. Your throne shall be established forever.” ’ ”
