8 Now, therefore, thus you shall say to my servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, I took you ^tfrom the pasture, from following the sheep, that you should be ^uprince¹ over my people Israel. 9 And I have been ^vwith you wherever you went and have ^wcut off all your enemies from before you. And I will ^xmake for you a great name, like the name of the great ones of the earth. 10 And I will appoint a place for my people Israel and will ^yplant them, so that they may dwell in their own place and be disturbed no more. And violent men shall afflict them no more, as formerly, 11 ^zfrom the time that I appointed judges over my people Israel. And I will give you rest from all your enemies. Moreover, the Lord declares to you that ^athe Lord will make you a house.
