11 since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. And I will cause thee to rest from all thy enemies. Likewise, the Lord makes thee to know that he will make thee a house.
12 And when thy days are fulfilled and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy 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 for ever.
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 sons of men;
15 but my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I took away from before thee.
16 And thy house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee; thy throne shall be established for ever.
17 According to all these words and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.
