I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men:

He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.

My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.

His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;

Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.

Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.

It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.

Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.

But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.

And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.

Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it for David thy father's sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son.

Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; but will give one tribe to thy son for David my servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen.

And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a light alway before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me to put my name there.

He shall build me an house, and I will stablish his throne for ever.

And enquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.

And Samuel said unto him, The LORD hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbour of thine, that is better than thou.
