9And I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the first,
10and [as] from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel; and I will subdue all thine enemies. Moreover I tell thee that Jehovah will build thee a house.
11And it shall come to pass, when thy days are fulfilled that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will set up thy seed after thee, who shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom.
12He shall build me a house, and I will establish his throne for ever.
13I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my lovingkindness away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee;
14but I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom for ever; and his throne shall be established for ever.
15According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.
