2 Samuel 7:10-17:17

God's Covenant with David

10 "Moreover I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will n plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own and move no more; o nor shall the sons of wickedness oppress them anymore, as previously, 11 p "since the time that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel, and have caused you to rest from all your enemies. Also the LORD 1 tells you q that He will make you a 2 house. 12 r "When your days are fulfilled and you s rest with your fathers, t I will set up your seed after you, who will come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 u "He shall build a house for My name, and I will v establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 14 w "I will be his Father, and he shall be x My son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men and with the 3 blows of the sons of men. 15 "But My mercy shall not depart from him, y as I took it from Saul, whom I removed from before you. 16 "And z your house and your kingdom shall be established forever before 4 you. Your throne shall be established forever." ' " 17 According to all these words and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.
