2 Samuel 7:11

9 And ^aI have been with you wherever you have gone, ^band have cut off all your enemies from before you, and have made you a great name, like the name of the great men who are on the earth.

10 Moreover I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will ^aplant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own and move no more; ^bnor shall the sons of wickedness oppress them anymore, as previously,

11 ^asince the time that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel, and have caused you to rest from all your enemies. Also the Lord¹ tells you ^bthat He will make you a house.

12 ^a“When your days are fulfilled and you ^brest with your fathers, ^cI will set up your seed after you, who will come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom.

13 ^aHe shall build a house for My name, and I will ^bestablish the throne of his kingdom forever.

14 ^aI will be his Father, and he shall be ^bMy son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men and with the¹ blows of the sons of men.

15 But My mercy shall not depart from him, ^aas I took it from Saul, whom I removed from before you.

16 And ^ayour house and your kingdom shall be established forever before¹ you. Your throne shall be established forever.” ’ ”

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

18 Then King David went in and sat before the Lord; and he said: ^a“Who am I, O Lord God? And what is my house, that You have brought me this far?

19 And yet this was a small thing in Your sight, O Lord God; and You have also spoken of Your servant’s house for a great while to come. ^aIs this the manner of man, O Lord God?
