Old Testament
2 Samuel 7:11
[The Lord speaking to Nathan concerning prophecy for King David:]
“‘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.’”
New Testament
Hebrews 1:1-5
The Nature of the Son
1 Long ago God spoke to our ancestors by the prophets at different times and in different ways. 2 In these last days, he has spoken to us by his Son. God has appointed him heir of all things and made the universe[Lit ages] through him. 3 The Son is the radiance[Or reflection] of God’s glory and the exact expression[Or representation, or copy, or reproduction] of his nature, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After making purification for sins,[Other mss read for our sins by himself] he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. 4 So he became superior to the angels, just as the name he inherited is more excellent than theirs.

The Son Superior to Angels
5 For to which of the angels did he ever say,
You are my Son;
today I have become your Father,[Ps 2:7]
or again,
I will be his Father,
and he will be my Son?[2Sm 7:14; 1Ch 17:13]
