2 Samuel 7:12-17

English Standard Version

¹²^(A)When your days are fulfilled and ^(B)you lie down with your fathers, ^(C)I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. ¹³^(D)He shall build a house for my name, and ^(E)I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. ¹⁴^(F)I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son. When he commits iniquity, ^(G)I will discipline him with the rod of men, with the stripes of the sons of men, ¹⁵^(H)but my steadfast love will not depart from him, ^(I)as I took it from Saul, whom I put away from before you. ¹⁶^(J)And your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before me.^[a] ^(K)Your throne shall be established forever.’” ¹⁷In accordance with all these words, and in accordance with all this vision, Nathan spoke to David.
