2 Samuel 7:10-16
New King James Version
10 Moreover I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will (A)plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own and move no more; (B)nor shall the sons of wickedness oppress them anymore, as previously, 11 (C)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 (D)that He will make you a [b]house.
12 (E)“When your days are fulfilled and you (F)rest with your fathers, (G)I will set up your seed after you, who will come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 (H)He shall build a house for My name, and I will (I)establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 14 (J)I will be his Father, and he shall be (K)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, (L)as I took it from Saul, whom I removed from before you. 16 And (M)your house and your kingdom shall be established forever before [d]you. Your throne shall be established forever.” ’ ”
