2 Samuel 7:11-14

New International Version

¹¹ and have done ever since the time I appointed leaders^[a](A) over my people Israel. I will also give you rest from all your enemies.^(B)

“‘The Lord declares^(C) to you that the Lord himself will establish^(D) a house^(E) for you: ¹² When your days are over and you rest^(F) with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, your own flesh and blood,^(G) and I will establish his kingdom.^{(H) 13} He is the one who will build a house^(I) for my Name,^(J) and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.^{(K) 14} I will be his father, and he will be my son.^(L) When he does wrong, I will punish him^(M) with a rod^(N) wielded by men, with floggings inflicted by human hands.
