³⁵ “‘Then I will raise up a faithful priest^(A) for myself. He will do whatever is in my heart and mind. I will establish a lasting dynasty for him,^(B) and he will walk before my anointed one for all time.^(C)

¹¹ ever since the day I ordered judges to be over my people Israel.^(A) I will give you rest from all your enemies.

“‘The Lord declares to you: The Lord himself will make a house for you.

²⁷ since you, Lord of Armies, God of Israel, have revealed this to your servant when you said, “I will build a house for you.” Therefore, your servant has found the courage to pray this prayer to you.

³⁸ “‘After that, if you obey all I command you, walk in my ways, and do what is right in my sight in order to keep my statutes and my commands as my servant David did, I will be with you.^(A) I will build you a lasting dynasty just as I built for David,^(B) and I will give you Israel.
