2 Samuel 7:10-17

English Standard Version

¹⁰And I will appoint a place for my people Israel ^(A)and will plant them, so that they may dwell in their own place ^(B)and be disturbed no more. ^(C)And violent men shall afflict them no more, as formerly, ¹¹^(D)from the time that I appointed judges over my people Israel. And ^(E)I will give you rest from all your enemies. Moreover, the Lord declares to you that ^(F)the Lord will make you a house. ¹²^(G)When your days are fulfilled and ^(H)you lie down with your fathers, ^(I)I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. ¹³^(J)He shall build a house for my name, and ^(K)I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. ¹⁴^(L)I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son. When he commits iniquity, ^(M)I will discipline him with the rod of men, with the stripes of the sons of men, ¹⁵^(N)but my steadfast love will not depart from him, ^(O)as I took it from Saul, whom I put away from before you. ¹⁶^(P)And your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before me.^[a] ^(Q)Your throne shall be established forever.’” ¹⁷In accordance with all these words, and in accordance with all this vision, Nathan spoke to David.
