37I will appoint you, and you will reign over all that your soul desires. You will be king over Israel.

38If you obey all that I command you, walk in my ways, and do what is right in my eyes by keeping my statutes and my commandments, as my servant David did, then I will be with you and build you an enduring royal house, just as I built for David, and I will give you Israel.

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