David’s House Will Be Established Forever
8 So now, thus you shall say to My servant David, ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts, “(A)I Myself took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, (B)to be ruler over My people Israel. 9 (C)And I have been with you wherever you have gone and (D)have cut off all your enemies from before you; and I will make you a great name, like the name of the great men who are on the earth. 10 And I will appoint a place for My people Israel and (E)will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place and not be disturbed again; (F)and the [a]unrighteous will not afflict them any more as formerly, 11 even (G)from the day that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel; and (H)I will give you rest from all your enemies. Yahweh also declares to you that (I)Yahweh will make a house for you. 12 (J)When your days are fulfilled and you (K)lie down with your fathers, (L)I will raise up one of your seed after you, who will come forth from [b]your own body, 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 commits iniquity, I will reprove him with the rod of men and the strikes from the sons of men, 15 but My lovingkindness shall not be removed from him, (Q)as I removed it from Saul, whom I removed from before you. 16 (R)And your house and your kingdom shall [c]endure before [d]Me forever; your throne shall be established forever.”’” 17 According to all these words and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.

2 Samuel 7:8-17
New International Version
8 “Now then, tell my servant David, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty says: I took you from the pasture, from tending the flock,(A) and appointed you ruler(B) over my people Israel.(C) 9 I have been with you wherever you have gone,(D) and I have cut off all your enemies from before you.(E) Now I will make your name great, like the names of the greatest men on earth.(F) 10 And I will provide a place for my people Israel and will plant(G) them so that they can have a home of their own and no longer be disturbed.(H) Wicked(I) people will not oppress them anymore,(J) as they did at the beginning 11 and have done ever since the time I appointed leaders[a](K) over my people Israel. I will also give you rest from all your enemies.(L)
“‘The Lord declares(M) to you that the Lord himself will establish(N) a house(O) for you: 12 When your days are over and you rest(P) with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, your own flesh and blood,(Q) and I will establish his kingdom.(R) 13 He is the one who will build a house(S) for my Name,(T) and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.(U) 14 I will be his father, and he will be my son.(V) When he does wrong, I will punish him(W) with a rod(X) wielded by men, with floggings inflicted by human hands. 15 But my love will never be taken away from him,(Y) as I took it away from Saul,(Z) whom I removed from before you. 16 Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me[b]; your throne(AA) will be established(AB) forever.(AC)’”
17 Nathan reported to David all the words of this entire revelation.
