God Promises David an Eternal Dynasty

7

“Now therefore, you shall tell my servant David, ‘Thus says the LORD of Hosts, “I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, that you should be prince over my people Israel.

8

I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you. I will make you a name, like the name of the great ones who are in the earth.

9

I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the first,

10

and from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel; and I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover I tell you that the LORD will build you a house.

11

It shall happen, when your days are fulfilled that you must go to be with your fathers, that I will set up your seed after you, who shall be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom.

12

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

13

I will be his father, and he shall be my son. I will not take my loving kindness away from him, as I took it from him that was before you;

14

but I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom forever. His throne shall be established forever.”’”

15

According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.
