1 Chronicles 17:12 In-Context
10 starting from the time I appointed judges to rule my people Israel. And I will defeat all your enemies. “‘Furthermore, I declare that the LORD will build a house for you—a dynasty of kings!
11 For when you die and join your ancestors, I will raise up one of your descendants, one of your sons, and I will make his kingdom strong.
12 He is the one who will build a house—a temple—for me. And I will secure his throne forever.
13 I will be his father, and he will be my son. I will never take my favor from him as I took it from the one who ruled before you.
14 I will confirm him as king over my house and my kingdom for all time, and his throne will be secure forever.’”
