God Promises David an Eternal Dynasty

7

"Therefore say to my servant David that this is what ADONAI-Tzva'ot says: 'I took you from the sheep-yards, from following the sheep, to make you chief over my people Isra'el.

8

I have been with you wherever you went, I have destroyed all your enemies ahead of you; and I am making your reputation like the reputations of the greatest people on earth.

9

I will assign a place to my people Isra'el; I will plant them there, so that they can live in their own place without being disturbed any more. The wicked will no longer devastate them, as they did at the beginning,

10

and as they did from the time I ordered judges to be over my people Isra'el; instead, I will subdue all your enemies. "'Moreover, I tell you that ADONAI will make you a house.

11

When your days come to an end and you go to be with your ancestors, I will establish one of your descendants to succeed you, one of your own sons; and I will set up his rulership.

12

He will build me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.

13

I will be a father for him, and he will be a son for me; I will not take my grace away from him, as I took it away from your predecessor.

14

Rather, I will maintain him in my house and in my kingdom forever; and his throne will be set up forever.'"

15

Natan told David all of these words and described this entire vision.
