2 Samuel 7:11-16

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹¹ from the time that I appointed judges over my people Israel, and I will give you rest from all your enemies. Moreover, the Lord declares to you that the Lord will make you a house.^{(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.^{(B) 13} He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.^{(C) 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.^{(D) 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.^{(E) 16} Your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before me;^[b] your throne shall be established forever.”^(F)
