““You must say this to my servant David: ‘This is what the Lord All-Powerful says: I chose you while you were out in the pasture following the sheep. I took you from that job and made you the leader of my people, the Israelites. I have been with you every place you went. I have defeated your enemies for you. I will make you one of the most famous people on earth.
“‘When your life is finished, you will die and be buried with your ancestors. But then I will make one of your own children become the king. He will build a house for my name, and I will make his kingdom strong forever. I will be his father, and he will be my son. When he sins, I will use other people to punish him. They will be my whips. But I will never stop loving him. I will continue to be loyal to him. I took away my love and kindness from Saul. I pushed Saul away when I turned to you.
You will do all these wonderful things because you said you would do them and because you want to do them. And you decided to let me know about all these things.
Lord GOD, you are God, and I can trust what you say. And you said that these good things would happen to me, your servant.”
2 Samuel 7:8-9, 12-15, 21, 28 ERV
