And in process, as the king dwelt in his house after that the LORD had given him rest round about from all his enemies,

And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou laid to rest with thy fathers, then I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy body, and will establish his kingdom.

And thine house and thy kingdom shall endure without end after thee, and thy seat shall be established forever.'"
