My name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 14 “I will be his Father, and he
shall be My son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men and with the
blows of the sons of men. 15 “But My mercy shall not depart from him, as I took it from Saul,
whom I removed from before you. 16 “And your house and your kingdom shall be established
forever before you. Your throne shall be established forever.”

that He did, and the children crying out in the temple and saying, "Hosanna to the Son of
David!" they were indignant.
