2 Samuel 7:13
“He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.”
Verse in context — 2 Samuel 7
and as from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. I will cause you to rest from all your enemies. Moreover Yahweh tells you that Yahweh will make you a house.
When your days are fulfilled, and you shall sleep with your fathers, I will set up your seed after you, who shall proceed out of your bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.
I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men;
but my loving kindness shall not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before you.
