Read in context

2 Samuel 7:12–16 · Berean Standard Bible

12 And when your days are fulfilled and you rest with your fathers, I will raise up your descendant after you, who will come from your own body, and I will establish his kingdom.

13 He will build a house for My Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

14 I will be his Father, and he will be My son. When he does wrong, I will discipline him with the rod of men and with the blows of the sons of men.

15 But My loving devotion will never be removed from him as I removed it from Saul, whom I moved out of your way.

16 Your house and kingdom will endure forever before Me, and your throne will be established forever.”
