10 when I chose judges for my people Israel. I will defeat all your enemies. "'I tell you that the Lord will make your descendants kings of Israel after you.
11 When you die and join your ancestors, I will make one of your sons the new king, and I will set up his kingdom.
12 He will build a house for me, and I will let his kingdom rule always.

14 I will put him in charge of my house and kingdom forever. His family will rule forever.'"
