The Everlasting Davidic Covenant

8

Now therefore you shall tell my servant David this, ‘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, over Israel.

9

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

10

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 afflict them any more, as at the first,

11

and as from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. I will cause you to rest from all your enemies. Moreover the LORD tells you that the LORD will make you a house.

12

When your days are fulfilled, and you shall sleep with your fathers, I will set up your seed after you, who shall proceed out of your bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.

13

He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

14

I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men;

15

but my loving kindness shall not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before you.

16

Your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before you. Your throne shall be established forever.”’”

17

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