37And I will take you, and you shall reign over all that your soul desires, and you shall be king over Israel.

38And it shall be, if you listen to all that I command you, and walk in my ways, and do what is right in my eyes by keeping my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did, then I will be with you and build for you a faithful house, just as I built for David, and I will give Israel to you.

39And I will afflict the offspring of David because of this, but not forever.
