⁸“Now this is what you are to say to My servant David: ‘This is what the Lord of Hosts says: I took you from the pasture and from following the sheep to be ruler over My people Israel. ^b⁹I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have destroyed all your enemies before you. I will make a name ^cfor you like that of the greatest in the land. ^d¹⁰I will establish a place ^efor My people Israel and plant them, ^fso that they may live there and not be disturbed again. Evildoers will not afflict them as they have done ¹¹ever since the day I ordered judges to be over My people Israel. ^gI will give you rest from all your enemies.

“ ‘The Lord declares to you: The Lord Himself will make a house for you. ¹²When your time comes and you rest with your fathers, I will raise up after you your descendant, who will come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. ^h¹³He will build a house for My name, ⁱand I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. ^j¹⁴I will be a father to him, and he will be a son to Me. ^kWhen he does wrong, I will discipline him with a human rod and with blows from others. ¹⁵But My faithful love will never leave him ^las I removed it from Saul; I removed him from your way. ^m¹⁶Your house and kingdom will endure before Me ⁿforever, ^oand your throne will be established forever.’ ” ^p

¹⁷Nathan spoke all these words and this entire vision to David.
