11
When your days are fulfilled to go to be with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, one of your own sons, and I will establish his kingdom.
12
He shall build a house for me, and I will establish his throne for ever.
13
I will be his father, and he shall be my son; I will not take my steadfast love from him, as I took it from him who was before you,
14
but I will confirm him in my house and in my kingdom for ever and his throne shall be established for ever.'"
15
In accordance with all these words, and in accordance with all this vision, Nathan spoke to David.
