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.
13. I will be his father, and he will be my son. I took away my love from Saul, who ruled before you, but I will never stop loving your son.
14. I will put him in charge of my house and kingdom forever. His family will rule forever.’ ”
