And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.

Verse 12 is found in chapter 7 of 2 Samuel. The promise reaches David’s descendants: God will raise up a son after him and establish his kingdom. The relationship between father, son, throne, and discipline introduces a dynastic dimension that extends into the later history of the kings of Judah. The promise of the permanence of David’s throne becomes one of the fundamental theological themes of Scripture. The text combines election, discipline, and divine faithfulness within the covenant with David’s house.

Wenn nun deine Zeit hin ist, daß du mit deinen Vätern schlafen liegst, will ich deinen Samen nach dir erwecken, der von deinem Leibe kommen soll; dem will ich sein Reich bestätigen.
Y cuando tus días fueren cumplidos, y durmieres con tus padres, yo estableceré tu simiente después de ti, la cual procederá de tus entrañas, y aseguraré su reino.
Cuando se cumplan tus días y descanses con tus antepasados, levantaré después de ti a tu descendiente, que saldrá de tus entrañas, y estableceré su reino.
Quand tes jours seront accomplis et que tu seras couché avec tes pères, j'élèverai ta postérité après toi, celui qui sera sorti de tes entrailles, et j'affermirai son règne.
Quando i tuoi giorni saranno compiuti, e tu giacerai co’ tuoi padri, io susciterò uno della tua progenie dopo te, il quale sarà uscito delle tue interiora, e stabilirò il suo regno.
Quando teus dias forem completos, e vieres a dormir com teus pais, então farei levantar depois de ti um dentre a tua descendência, o qual sairá das tuas entranhas, e estabelecerei o seu reino.
當你壽數滿足、與你祖先同睡的時候,我必使你身所生的後裔接續你;我也必堅定他的國。
