Some day your life will come to an end. You will join the members of your family who have already died. Then I will make one of your own sons the next king after you. And I will make his kingdom secure.He is the one who will build a house where I will put my Name. I will set up the throne of his kingdom. It will last forever.I will be his father. And he will be my son. When he does what is wrong, I will use other men to beat him with rods and whips.I took my love away from Saul. I removed him from being king. You were there when I did it. But I will never take my love away from your son.Your royal house and your kingdom will last forever in my sight. Your throne will last forever.” ’ ”

I will make them like the dust of the earth. Can dust be counted? If it can, then your family can be counted.

The Lord made a promise to David. It is a firm promise that he will never break. He said,“ After you die, I will place one of your own sons on your throne.If your sons keep my covenant and the laws I teach them, then their sons will sit on your throne for ever and ever.”

So I will certainly bless you. I will make the children born into your family as many as the stars in the sky. I will make them as many as the grains of sand on the seashore. They will take over the cities of their enemies.

Once and for all, I have made a promise. It is based on my holiness. And I will not lie to David.His family line will continue forever. His kingdom will last as long as the sun.It will last forever like the moon, that faithful witness in the sky.”

The Lord said to me,‘ Your son Solomon is the one who will build my house and my courtyards. I have chosen him to be my son. And I will be his father.I will make his kingdom secure. It will last forever. That will happen if he continues to obey my commands and laws. He must continue to obey them, just as he is doing now.’

Jacob’s people are like the dust of the earth. Can dust be counted? Who can count even a fourth of the Israelites? Let me die as godly people die. Let my death be like theirs!”

“ And now, Lord God, keep forever the promise you have made to me and my royal house. Do exactly as you promised.Then your name will be honored forever. People will say,‘ The Lord rules over all. He is God over Israel.’ My royal house will be made secure in your sight.“ Lord who rules over all, you are the God of Israel. Here’s what you have shown me. You told me,‘ I will build you a royal house.’ So I can boldly pray this prayer to you.Lord and King, you are God! Your covenant can be trusted. You have promised many good things to me.Now please bless my royal house. Then it will continue forever in your sight. Lord and King, you have spoken. Because you have given my royal house your blessing, it will be blessed forever.”

“ And now, Lord, let the promise you have made to me and my royal house stand forever. Do exactly as you promised.When your promise comes true, your name will be honored forever. People will say,‘ The Lord rules over all. He is the God over Israel. He is Israel’s God!’ My royal house will be made secure in your sight.“ My God, you have shown me that you will build me a royal house. So I can pray to you boldly.You, Lord, are God! You have promised many good things to me.You have been pleased to bless my royal house. Now it will continue forever in your sight. Lord, you have blessed it. And it will be blessed forever.”

Some day your life will come to an end. You will join the members of your family who have already died. Then I will give you one of your own sons to become the next king after you. I will make his kingdom secure.He is the one who will build me a house. I will set up his throne. It will last forever.I will be his father. And he will be my son. I took my love away from the man who ruled before you. But I will never take my love away from your son.I will place him over my house and my kingdom forever. His throne will last forever.” ’ ”
