1 Chronicles 17:13

God's love Parents and children Jesus Christ

¹¹ And when your days are fulfilled and you go to be with your fathers, I will raise up your descendant after you, one of your own sons, and I will establish his kingdom.

¹² He will build a house for Me, and I will establish his throne forever.

I will be his Father, and he will be My son. And I will never remove My loving devotion from him as I removed it from your predecessor.

¹⁴ But I will set him over My house and My kingdom forever, and his throne will be established forever.”

¹⁵ So Nathan relayed to David all the words of this entire vision.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
