2 Samuel 7:11-17 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

11. and since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. And I have given thee rest from all thine enemies; and Jehovah telleth thee that Jehovah will make thee a house.

12. 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. It is he who 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 commit 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 put away from before thee.

16. And thy house and thy kingdom shall be made firm 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 to David.
