10. starting from the time I appointed judges to rule my people Israel. And I will defeat all your enemies.“‘Furthermore, I declare that the lord will build a house for you—a dynasty of kings!
11. For when you die and join your ancestors, I will raise up one of your descendants, one of your sons, and I will make his kingdom strong.
12. He is the one who will build a house—a temple—for me. And I will secure his throne forever.
13. I will be his father, and he will be my son. I will never take my favor from him as I took it from the one who ruled before you.
14. I will confirm him as king over my house and my kingdom for all time, and his throne will be secure forever.’”
15. So Nathan went back to David and told him everything the lord had said in this vision.
