9
I have chosen a place for my people Israel and have settled them there, where they will live without being oppressed any more. Ever since they entered this land they have been attacked by violent people, but this will not happen again. I promise to defeat all your enemies and to give you descendants.
11
When you die and are buried with your ancestors, I will make one of your sons king and will keep his kingdom strong.
12
He will be the one to build a temple for me, and I will make sure that his dynasty continues forever.
13
I will be his father, and he will be my son. I will not withdraw my support from him as I did from Saul, whom I removed so that you could be king.
