New Testament

1 Chronicles 17:9-13 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

9. I will give this place to my people Israel. I will settle them here. Then they will have a home of their own. They won’t be bothered anymore. Evil people won’t hurt them as they have done since the first.

10. Evil people have hurt them since I chose leaders for my people Israel. I will also defeat all your enemies.“‘I tell you that the Lord will make your descendants kings of Israel after you.

11. When you die and join your ancestors, I will let your child be the new king. He will be one of your own sons. And I will make his kingdom strong.

12. He will build a house for me. And I will let his family rule forever.

13. I will be his father, and he will be my son. I took away my love from Saul, who ruled before you. But I will never stop loving your son.
