10. “And I shall appoint a place for My people Yisra’ĕl, and shall plant them, and they shall dwell in a place of their own and no longer be afraid, neither shall the children of wickedness oppress them again, as at the first,
11. even from the day I appointed rulers over My people Yisra’ĕl, and have caused you to rest from all your enemies. And יהוה has declared to you that He would make you a house.
12. “When your days are filled and you rest with your fathers, I shall raise up your seed after you, who comes from your inward parts, and shall establish his reign.
13. “He does build a house for My Name, and I shall establish the throne of his reign forever.
14. “I am to be his Father, and he is My son. If he does perversely, I shall reprove him with the rod of men and with the blows of the sons of men.
15. “But My kindness does not turn aside from him, as I turned it aside from Sha’ul, whom I removed from before you.
16. “And your house and your reign are to be steadfast forever before you – your throne is established forever.” ’ ”
17. According to all these words and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to Dawiḏ.

19. “And yet this was a small matter in Your eyes, O Master יהוה. And You have also spoken of Your servant’s house for a great while to come. And is this the teaching of man, O Master יהוה?
20. “And what more does Dawiḏ say to You? For You, Master יהוה, know Your servant.
