2 Samuel 7:11-16 English Revised Version (ERV)

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 the LORD telleth thee that the LORD will make thee an house.

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

13. He shall build an 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 mercy shall not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.

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