10
from the time that I appointed judges over my people Israel; and I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover I declare to you that the LORD will build you a house.
11
When your days are fulfilled to go to be with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, one of your own sons, and I will establish his kingdom.
12
He shall build a house for me, and I will establish his throne for ever.
13
I will be his father, and he shall be my son; I will not take my steadfast love from him, as I took it from him who was before you,
14
but I will confirm him in my house and in my kingdom for ever and his throne shall be established for ever.'"
