1 Chronicles 17

11  And it shall come to pass, when thy days are fulfilled that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will set up thy seed after thee, who shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom.

12  He shall build me a house, and I will establish his throne for ever.

13  I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my lovingkindness away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee;

14  But I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom for ever; and his throne shall be established for ever.

15  According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.

16  Then David the king went in, and sat before Jehovah; and he said, Who am I, O Jehovah God, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me thus far?

17  And this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God; but thou hast spoken of thy servant's house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O Jehovah God.

18  What can David `say' yet more unto thee concerning the honor which is done to thy servant? for thou knowest thy servant.

19  O Jehovah, for thy servant's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou wrought all this greatness, to make known all `these' great things.

20  O Jehovah, there is none like thee, neither is there any God besides thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
