⁵ “Go and tell my servant David: Thus says the Lord: Are you the one to build me a house to live in?

¹² When your days are fulfilled and you lie down with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come forth from your body, and I will establish his kingdom.^(A)

¹³ He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.^(A)

³ “You know that my father David could not build a house for the name of the Lord his God because of the warfare with which his enemies surrounded him, until he^[a] put them under the soles of his feet.^[b](A)

⁵ So I intend to build a house for the name of the Lord my God, as the Lord said to my father David, ‘Your son, whom I will set on your throne in your place, shall build the house for my name.’^(A)
