Advent Readings: 2 Samuel 7:11b-16

2 Samuel 7:11-16

The Lord God speaking to David through the prophet Nathan

11 "I will give you rest from all your enemies.


‘The Lord declares to you: The Lord himself will make a house for you. 

12 When your time comes and you rest with your ancestors, I will raise up after you your descendant, who will come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. 

13 He is the one who will build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 

14 I will be his father, and he will be my son. When he does wrong, I will discipline him with a rod of men and blows from mortals. 

15 But my faithful love will never leave him as it did when I removed it from Saul, whom I removed from before you. 

16 Your house and kingdom will endure before me forever, and your throne will be established forever.’”


Christian Standard Bible (CSB)
