2 Samuel 7: 4 - 5, 12 - 14, 16

| 4
|
But that same night the word of the LORD came to Nathan,
|
| 5
|
"Go and tell my servant David, `Thus says the LORD: Would you build me a house to dwell in?
|
| 12
|
When your days are fulfilled and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come forth from your body, and I will establish his kingdom.
|
| 13
|
He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever.
|
| 14
|
I will be his father, and he shall be my son. When he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, with the stripes of the sons of men;
|
| 16
|
And your house and your kingdom shall be made sure for ever before me; your throne shall be established for ever.'"
