25 Now therefore, O Lord, God of Israel, keep for your servant David my father ^cwhat you have promised him, saying, ‘You shall not lack a man to sit before me on the throne of Israel, if only your sons pay close attention to their way, to walk before me ^das you have walked before me.’

5 then I will ^aestablish your royal throne over Israel forever, as I promised David your father, saying, ^b‘You shall not lack a man on the throne of Israel.’

12 ^bWhen your days are fulfilled and you lie down with your fathers, ^cI will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come from your body,¹ and I will establish his kingdom. 13 ^dHe shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the ^ethrone of his kingdom forever.
