1 Chronicles 17:10-15
New Catholic Bible
10 from the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. I will humble all of your enemies.
“ ‘Furthermore, it is the Lord who will build you a house. 11 When your days have been fulfilled and you go to be with your fathers, I will raise up your seed after you, one of your sons,[a] and I will establish his kingdom. 12 He will build a house for me, and I will establish his throne forever. 13 I will be his father, and he will be my son. I will not withdraw my mercy from him, as I took it away from the one who preceded you.[b] 14 I will have him stand firm in my house forever, and his throne will be established forever.’ ”
15 Nathan reported this entire vision and all of these words to David.
