11. from the day when I appointed judges over my people Israel. And I will give rest to you from all your enemies. And the Lord foretells to you that the Lord himself will make a house for you.

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.

13. He himself shall build a house to my name. And I will establish the throne of his kingdom, even forever.

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.

15. But my mercy I will not take away from him, as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from before my face.

16. And your house shall be faithful, and your kingdom shall be before your face, for eternity, and your throne shall be secure continuously.' "

17. According to all these words, and according to this entire vision, so did Nathan speak to David.
