2 Samuel 7:12-16

NSB(i) 12 »‘I will choose one of your sons to be king when you reach the end of your life and are buried in the tomb of your ancestors. I will make him a strong ruler. 13 »‘I will allow no one to take his long lasting kingdom away from him. He will be the one to build a temple for me. 14 »‘I will be his father. He will be my son. When he does wrong I will correct him just as parents correct children. 15 »‘I will never put an end to my agreement with him. I put an end to my agreement with Saul when he was king before you. 16 »‘I will make sure that one of your descendants will be king for a very long time. Your throne will be established from generation to generation.’«
