10 ever since the day I ordered judges to be over My people Israel. I will also subdue all your enemies. " 'Furthermore, I declare to you that the Lord Himself will build a house for you.
11 When your time comes to be with your fathers, I will raise up after you your descendant, who is one of your own sons, and I will establish his kingdom.
12 He will build a house for Me, and I will establish his throne forever.
13 I will be a father to him, and he will be a son to Me. I will not take away My faithful love from him as I took it from the one who was before you.
