Behold, a son shall be born to you who shall be a man of rest. I will give him rest from all his surrounding enemies.

When your days are fulfilled to walk with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, one of your own sons, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build a house for me, and I will establish his throne forever.
And your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before me. Your throne shall be established forever.’”
