2 Samuel 7:14

Verse 14 of 29. The 7th of 24 chapters in 2 Samuel, in History.

10I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place and be moved no more. The children of wickedness will not afflict them any more, as at the first,

11and as from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. I will cause you to rest from all your enemies. Moreover the LORD tells you that the LORD will make you a house.

12When your days are fulfilled and you sleep with your fathers, I will set up your offspring after you, who will proceed out of your body, and I will establish his kingdom.

13He will build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

14I will be his father, and he will be my son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men and with the stripes of the children of men;

15but my loving kindness will not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before you.

16Your house and your kingdom will be made sure forever before you. Your throne will be established forever.”’”

17Nathan spoke to David all these words, and according to all this vision.

18Then David the king went in and sat before the LORD; and he said, “Who am I, Lord GOD, and what is my house, that you have brought me this far?
