¹⁰ but he did not invite the prophet Nathan or Benaiah or the warriors or his brother Solomon.^(A)

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.^{(B) 14} I will be a father to him, and he shall be a son to me. When he commits iniquity, I will punish him with a rod such as mortals use, with blows inflicted by human beings.^{(C) 15} But I will not take^[a] my steadfast love from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away from before you.^{(D) 16} Your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before me;^[b] your throne shall be established forever.”^{(E) 17} In accordance with all these words and with all this vision, Nathan spoke to David.
