Moreover, I will subdue all your enemies. Furthermore, I tell you that the LORD will build you a house. 11 And it shall happen, when your days are fulfilled that you must go to be with your fathers, that I will raise up your seed after you, who shall be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom. 12 He shall build me a house, and I will establish his throne forever. 13 I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him who was before you: 14 But I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom forever: and his throne shall be established forevermore. 15 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David. 16 And David the king came and sat before the LORD, and said, Who am I, O LORD God, and what is my house, that you have brought me this far? 17 And yet this was a small thing in your eyes, O God; for you have also spoken of your servant's house for a great while to come, and have regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O LORD God. 18 What can David say more to you for the honor of your servant? for you know your servant. 19 O LORD, for your servant's sake, and according to your own heart, have you done all this greatness, in making known all these great things. 20 O LORD, there is none like you, neither is there any God beside you, according to all that we have heard with our ears. 21 And what one nation in the earth is like your people Israel, whom God went to redeem to be his own people, to make you a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations before your people, whom you have redeemed out of Egypt? 22 For your people Israel you made your own people forever; and you, LORD, became their God. 23 Therefore now, LORD, let the thing that you have spoken concerning your servant and concerning his house be established forever, and do as you have said. 24 Let it even be established, that your name may be magnified forever, saying, The LORD of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: and let the house of David your servant be established before you. 25 For you, O my God, have told your servant that you will build him a house: therefore your servant has found in his heart to pray before you. 26 And now, LORD, you are God, and have promised this goodness to your servant: 27 Now therefore let it please you to bless the house of your servant, that it may be before you forever: for you bless, O LORD, and it shall be blessed forever.
