2 Samuel 7:12-17
12 When your days are fulfilled and you lie down [in death] with your fathers (ancestors), I will raise up your descendant after you, who shall be born to you, and I will establish his kingdom.
13 He [is the one who] shall build a house for My (a)Name and My Presence, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.
14 I will be his Father, and he shall be My son. When he commits iniquity (wrongdoing), I will discipline him with the rod of men and with the strokes of the sons of man.
15 But My lovingkindness and mercy will not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I removed from before you.
16 Your house (royal dynasty) and your kingdom will endure forever before Me; your throne will be established forever.”’”
17 Nathan spoke to David in accordance with all these words and all of this vision.
