The Second Book of Samuel    7: 4-5, 12-14, 16

7:4 But it happened in that night, behold, the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying:
7:5 “Go, and say to my servant David: ‘Thus says the Lord: Should you build a house for me as a dwelling place?
7:12 And when your days will have been fulfilled, and you will sleep with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, who will go forth from your loins, and I will make firm his kingdom.
7:13 He himself shall build a house to my name. And I will establish the throne of his kingdom, even forever.
7:14 I will be a father to him, and he shall be a son to me. And if he will commit any iniquity, I will correct him with the rod of men and with the wounds of the sons of men.
7:16 And your house shall be faithful, and your kingdom shall be before your face, for eternity, and your throne shall be secure continuously.’ ”
