2 Samuel 7:6-16
New American Standard Bible
6 For (A)I have not dwelt in a house since the day I brought up the sons of Israel from Egypt, even to this day; rather, I have been moving about (B)in a tent, that is, in a dwelling place. 7 (C)Wherever I have gone with all the sons of Israel, did I speak a word with one of the tribes of Israel, (D)whom I commanded to shepherd My people Israel, saying, ‘Why have you not built Me a house of cedar?’”’
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: “(E)I Myself took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, (F)to be leader over My people Israel. 9 And (G)I have been with you wherever you have gone, and (H)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 (I)will plant them, so that they may live in their own place and not be disturbed again, (J)nor will [b]malicious people oppress them anymore as previously, 11 even (K)from the day that I appointed judges over My people Israel; and (L)I will give you rest from all your enemies. The Lord also declares to you that (M)the Lord will make a house for you. 12 (N)When your days are finished and you [c](O)lie down with your fathers, (P)I will raise up your [d]descendant after you, who will come from [e]you, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 (Q)He shall build a house for My name, and (R)I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 14 (S)I will be a father to him and he will be a son to Me; (T)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, (U)as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from you. 16 (V)Your house and your kingdom shall endure before [f]Me forever; your throne shall be established forever.”’”

New International Version
6 I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought the Israelites up out of Egypt to this day.(A) I have been moving from place to place with a tent(B) as my dwelling.(C) 7 Wherever I have moved with all the Israelites,(D) did I ever say to any of their rulers whom I commanded to shepherd(E) my people Israel, “Why have you not built me a house(F) of cedar?(G)”’
8 “Now then, tell my servant David, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty says: I took you from the pasture, from tending the flock,(H) and appointed you ruler(I) over my people Israel.(J) 9 I have been with you wherever you have gone,(K) and I have cut off all your enemies from before you.(L) Now I will make your name great, like the names of the greatest men on earth.(M) 10 And I will provide a place for my people Israel and will plant(N) them so that they can have a home of their own and no longer be disturbed.(O) Wicked(P) people will not oppress them anymore,(Q) as they did at the beginning 11 and have done ever since the time I appointed leaders[a](R) over my people Israel. I will also give you rest from all your enemies.(S)
“‘The Lord declares(T) to you that the Lord himself will establish(U) a house(V) for you: 12 When your days are over and you rest(W) with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, your own flesh and blood,(X) and I will establish his kingdom.(Y) 13 He is the one who will build a house(Z) for my Name,(AA) and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.(AB) 14 I will be his father, and he will be my son.(AC) When he does wrong, I will punish him(AD) with a rod(AE) wielded by men, with floggings inflicted by human hands. 15 But my love will never be taken away from him,(AF) as I took it away from Saul,(AG) whom I removed from before you. 16 Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me[b]; your throne(AH) will be established(AI) forever.(AJ)’”
