When you die and are buried with your ancestors, I will make one of your sons king and will keep his kingdom strong.

You have kept the promise you made to my father David; today every word has been fulfilled.

He did, however, make me a promise. He said, 'You will have a son who will rule in peace, because I will give him peace from all his enemies. His name will be Solomon, because during his reign I will give Israel peace and security.

He will build a temple for me. He will be my son, and I will be his father. His dynasty will rule Israel forever.' "
