2 SAMUEL 7:11 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also the Lord telleth thee that he will make thee an house.”
'also the LORD declares to you that the LORD will make you a house. When your days are fulfilled and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come forth from your body, and I will establish his kingdom' — The covenant shifts: instead of David building God's house, the Lord will build David's house (dynasty). The 'offspring' refers to David's heir; the Lord will establish his kingdom. This promise anchors the Davidic dynasty.
