For when you die and are buried with your ancestors, I will raise up one of your descendants, your own offspring, and I will make his kingdom strong.He is the one who will build a house— a temple— for my name. And I will secure his royal throne forever.

But my favor will not be taken from him as I took it from Saul, whom I removed from your sight.
