2 Samuel 7:8-17
New American Standard Bible
God’s Covenant with David
8 Now then, this is what you shall say to My servant David: ‘This is what the Lord of armies says: “(A)I Myself took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, (B)to be leader over My people Israel. 9 And (C)I have been with you wherever you have gone, and (D)have eliminated all your enemies from you; I will also make a great name for you, like the names of the great men who [a]are on the earth. 10 And I will establish a place for My people Israel, and (E)will plant them, so that they may live in their own place and not be disturbed again, (F)nor will [b]malicious people oppress them anymore as previously, 11 even (G)from the day that I appointed judges over My people Israel; and (H)I will give you rest from all your enemies. The Lord also declares to you that (I)the Lord will make a house for you. 12 (J)When your days are finished and you [c](K)lie down with your fathers, (L)I will raise up your [d]descendant after you, who will come from [e]you, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 (M)He shall build a house for My name, and (N)I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 14 (O)I will be a father to him and he will be a son to Me; (P)when he does wrong, I will discipline him with a rod of men and with strokes of sons of mankind, 15 but My favor shall not depart from him, (Q)as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from you. 16 (R)Your house and your kingdom shall endure before [f]Me forever; your throne shall be established forever.”’” 17 In accordance with all these words and all of this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.
