Microsoft added native paging features in SQL Server 2012 and above using "OFFSET" and "FETCH". You can use this feature as below:

-- Skip the first 500 rows and return the next 100
SELECT *
FROM TableName
ORDER BY [ID]
    OFFSET 500 ROWS
    FETCH NEXT 100 ROWS ONLY;

For the OFFSET __ and FETCH NEXT __ clauses, you can specify constant values (as above), or you can specify variables, expressions, or constant scalar subqueries.
