# Solomon (2 Samuel 7:14)

[2 Samuel 7](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Samuel+7%3A14\&version=KJV):

> 11 and have done ever since the time I appointed leaders\[[a](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Samuel+7\&version=NIV#fen-NIV-8192a)] over my people Israel. I will also give you rest from all your enemies. “‘The Lord declares to you that the Lord himself will establish a house for you: 12 When your days are over and you rest with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, your own flesh and blood, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 He is the one who will build a house for my Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. <mark style="color:red;">**14**</mark> <mark style="color:red;"></mark><mark style="color:red;">I will be his father, and he will be my son.</mark> When he does wrong, I will punish him with a rod wielded by men, with floggings inflicted by human hands. 15 But my love will never be taken away from him, as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from before you. 16 Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me; your throne will be established forever.’”
