1 Chronicles 17:7–14

⁷Now therefore, thus shall you say to My servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: “I took you ^cfrom the sheepfold, from following the sheep, to be ¹ruler over My people Israel. ⁸And I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you, and have ²made you a name like the name of the great men who are on the earth. ⁹Moreover I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will ^dplant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own and move no more; nor shall the sons of wickedness oppress them anymore, as previously, ¹⁰since the time that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel. Also I will subdue all your enemies. Furthermore I tell you that the Lord will build you a ³house. ¹¹And it shall be, when your days are ^efulfilled, when you must ⁴go to be with your fathers, that I will set up your ^fseed after you, who will be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom. ^12gHe shall build Me a house, and I will establish his throne forever. ^13hI will be his Father, and he shall be My son; and I will not take My mercy away from him, ⁱas I took it from him who was before you. ¹⁴And ^jI will establish him in My house and in My kingdom forever; and his throne shall be established forever.” ’ ”
