2 Samuel 7:6-16

« 2 Sam 62 Sam 72 Sam 8 »

6 For ^aI have not inhabited a house since the day I brought up the sons of Israel from Egypt, even to this day; but I have been going about ^bin a tent, even in a ¹tabernacle. 7 ^aWherever I have gone about with all the sons of Israel, did I speak a word with one of the tribes of Israel, ^bwhich I commanded to shepherd My people Israel, saying, ‘Why have you not built Me a house of cedar?’”’

David’s House Will Be Established Forever

8 So now, thus you shall say to My servant David, ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts, “^aI Myself took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, ^bto be ruler over My people Israel. 9 ^aAnd I have been with you wherever you have gone and ^bhave cut off all your enemies from before you; and I will make you a great name, like the name of the great men who are on the earth. 10 And I will appoint a place for My people Israel and ^awill plant them, that they may dwell in their own place and not be disturbed again; ^band the ¹unrighteous will not afflict them any more as formerly, 11 even ^afrom the day that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel; and ^bI will give you rest from all your enemies. Yahweh also declares to you that ^cYahweh will make a house for you. 12 ^aWhen your days are fulfilled and you ^blie down with your fathers, ^cI will raise up one of your seed after you, who will come forth from ¹your own body, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 ^aHe shall build a house for My name, and ^bI will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 14 ^aI will be a father to him and he will be a son to Me; ^bwhen he commits iniquity, I will reprove him with the rod of men and the strikes from the sons of men, 15 but My lovingkindness shall not be removed from him, ^aas I removed it from Saul, whom I removed from before you. 16 ^aAnd your house and your kingdom shall ¹endure before ²Me forever; your throne shall be established forever.”’”
