* Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David , Thus saith the LORD of hosts , I took thee from the sheepcote , from following the sheep tso #n #, to be ruler over my people , over Israel Yisra #el #: * And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest , and have cut off all thine enemies out of thy sight , and have made thee a great name , like unto the name of the great men that are in the earth . * Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel Yisra #el #, and will plant them , that they may dwell in a place of their own , and move no more ; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more , as beforetime ri #shown #, * And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel Yisra #el #, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies . Also the LORD telleth thee that he will make thee an house . * 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 me #ah #, and I will establish his kingdom . * He shall build an house for my name , and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever . * 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 : * But my mercy shall not depart away from him , as I took it from Saul Sha #uwl #, whom I put away before thee . * And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee : thy throne shall be established for ever .
