2 Samuel 7:12-16
New King James Version
12 (A)“When your days are fulfilled and you (B)rest with your fathers, (C)I will set up your seed after you, who will come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 (D)He shall build a house for My name, and I will (E)establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 14 (F)I will be his Father, and he shall be (G)My son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men and with the [a]blows of the sons of men. 15 But My mercy shall not depart from him, (H)as I took it from Saul, whom I removed from before you. 16 And (I)your house and your kingdom shall be established forever before [b]you. Your throne shall be established forever.” ’ ”
