Bible: 2 Samuel 7:11-16
7:11 and during the time when I appointed judges to lead my people Israel. Instead, I will give you relief 1 from all your enemies. The Lord declares 2 to you that he himself 3 will build a dynastic house 4 for you. 7:12 When the time comes for you to die, 5 I will raise up your descendant, one of your own sons, to succeed you, 6 and I will establish his kingdom. 7:13 He will build a house for my name, and I will make his dynasty permanent. 7 7:14 I will become his father and he will become my son. When he sins, I will correct him with the rod of men and with wounds inflicted by human beings. 7:15 But my loyal love will not be removed from him as I removed it from Saul, whom I removed from before you. 7:16 Your house and your kingdom will stand before me 8 permanently; your dynasty 9 will be permanent.’”
