12 When your days come to the full,+ and you must lie down with your forefathers,+ then I shall certainly raise up your seed after you, which will come out of your inward parts; and I shall indeed firmly establish his kingdom.+

4 in order that Jehovah may carry out his word that he spoke respecting me,+ saying, ‘If your sons+ will take care of their way by walking+ before me in truth*+ with all their heart+ and with all their soul, there will not be cut off a man of yours from [sitting] upon the throne of Israel.’+

5 I also shall indeed establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel to time indefinite,* just as I promised David your father, saying, ‘Not a man of yours will be cut off from [sitting] upon the throne of Israel.’+

16 And now, O Jehovah the God of Israel, keep toward your servant David my father what you promised him, saying, ‘There will not be cut off a man of yours from before me to sit upon the throne of Israel,+ if only your sons+ will take care of their way by walking in my law,+ just as you have walked before me.’+

18 I will also establish the throne of your kingship,+ just as I covenanted with David your father,+ saying, ‘There will not a man of yours be cut off from ruling over Israel.’+

7 And Jehovah did not want to bring the house of David to ruin,+ for the sake of the covenant+ that he had concluded with David, and just as he had said he would give him+ and his sons a lamp always.+
