1 Chronicles 17:7–14

⁷“Now, therefore, thus shall you say to My servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, “I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, to be leader over My people Israel.

⁸“I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you; and 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, so that they may dwell in their own place and not be moved again; and the ¹wicked will not waste them anymore as formerly,

¹⁰even 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 a house for you.

¹¹“When your days are fulfilled that you must go to be with your fathers, that I will set up one of your ¹descendants after you, who will be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom.

¹²“He shall build for Me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.

¹³“^aI will be his father and he shall be My son; and I will not take My lovingkindness away from him, ^bas I took it from him who was before you.

¹⁴“But I will settle him in My house and in My kingdom forever, and his throne shall be established forever.” ’ ”
