2 Samuel 7:10-12
Easy-to-Read Version
10-11 And I chose a place for my people, the Israelites. I planted the Israelites. I gave them their own place to live so that they will not have to move from place to place anymore. In the past, I sent judges to lead my people, but evil people gave them many troubles. That will not happen now. I am giving you peace from all of your enemies. I promise that I will make your family a family of kings.[a]
12 “‘When your life is finished, you will die and be buried with your ancestors. But then I will make one of your own children become the king.
