2 Samuel 7:11-16

NSB(i) 11 when I let judges rule my people. I have kept your enemies from attacking you. Now I promise that you and your descendants will be kings. 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.’«
