American Standard Version

2 Samuel 7:10-16 American Standard Version (ASV)

10. And I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as at the first,

11. and as from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel; and I will cause thee to rest from all thine enemies. Moreover Jehovah telleth thee that Jehovah will make thee a house.

12. When thy days are fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, that shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.

13. He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever.

14. I will be his father, and he shall be my son: if he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men;

15. but my lovingkindness shall not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.

16. And thy house and thy kingdom shall be made sure for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.
