New Testament

1 Chronicles 17:8-15 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

8. And I have been with you wherever you have gone. And I have slain all your enemies before you, and I have made a name for you like one of the great ones who are celebrated upon the earth.

9. And I have given a place to my people Israel. They shall be planted, and they shall live in it, and they shall no longer be moved. Neither shall the sons of iniquity wear them away, as in the beginning,

10. from the days when I gave judges to my people Israel, and I humbled all your enemies. Therefore, I announce to you that the Lord will build a house for you.

11. And when you will have completed your days, so that you go to your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall be from your sons. And I will establish his kingdom.

12. He shall build a house for me, and I will make firm his throne, even unto eternity.

13. I will be a father to him, and he shall be a son to me. And I will not take away my mercy from him, as I took it away from the one who was before you.

14. And I will station him in my house and in my kingdom, even forever. And his throne will be very firm, in perpetuity."

15. According to all these words, and according to this entire vision, so did Nathan speak to David.
