‏ 2 Samuel 7:10-11

v. 10–11: God promised peace and safety for Israel. He said, I will appoint a place for my people Israel and the children of wickedness shall not afflict them any more (2 Samuel 7:10–11 a). God wanted David to know that his reign would bring happiness and rest to the people. God would give Israel a home where they could enjoy peace, without being attacked by their enemies.

v. 11: God made a special promise to David’s family. David wanted to build God a house, but God said He would build a house for David—a family line that would last. God always rewards those who serve Him, even if they only have good intentions and cannot finish their plans .
