The King James Version Bible

2 Samuel 7:12-17

  1. And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.

  2. He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.

  3. I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men:

  4. But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.

  5. And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.

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