7 “Now this is what you will 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.
8 I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have destroyed all your enemies before you. I will make a name for you like that of the greatest in the land.
9 I will establish a place for My people Israel and plant them, so that they may live there and not be disturbed again. Evildoers will not continue to oppress them as they formerly have
10 ever since the day I ordered judges to be over My people Israel. I will also subdue all your enemies.“ ‘Furthermore, I declare to you that the Lord Himself will build a house for you.
11 When your time comes to be with your fathers, I will raise up after you your descendant, who is one of your own sons, and I will establish his kingdom.
12 He will build a house for Me, and I will establish his throne forever.
13 I will be a father to him, and he will be a son to Me. I will not take away My faithful love from him as I took it from the one who was before you.
