The LordH3068 also declaresH5046 to you that 16the LordH3068 will makeH6213 a houseH1004 for you. 1217WhenH3588 your daysH3117 are completeH4390 and you 18lieH7901 downH7901 with your fathersH1, 19I will raiseH6965 up your 20descendantH2233 afterH310 you, whoH834 will comeH3318 forthH3318 from 21you, and I will establishH3559 his kingdomH4467. 1322He shall buildH1129 a houseH1004 for My nameH8034, and 23I will establishH3559 the throneH3678 of his kingdomH4467 foreverH5704H5769. 1424I will be a fatherH1 to him and he will be a sonH1121 to Me; 25whenH834 he commitsH5753 iniquityH5753, I will correctH3198 him with the rodH7626 of menH376 and the strokesH5061 of the sonsH1121 of menH120, 15but My lovingkindnessH2617 shall not departH5493 from him, 26as I tookH5493 it awayH5493 from SaulH7586, whomH834 I removedH5493 from beforeH6440 you. 1627Your houseH1004 and your kingdomH4467 shall endureH539 beforeH6440 28Me foreverH5704H5769; your throneH3678 shall be establishedH3559 foreverH5704H5769.”’” 17In accordance with allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697 and allH3605 thisH2088 visionH2384, soH3651 NathanH5416 spokeH1696 to DavidH1732.

18Then DavidH1732 the kingH4428 wentH935 in and satH3427 beforeH6440 the LordH3068, and he saidH559, “29WhoH4310 am I, O LordH136 30GodH3068, and whatH4310 is my houseH1004, that You have broughtH935 me thisH1988 farH1988? 19And yetH5750 thisH2088 was insignificantH6994 in Your eyesH5869, O LordH136 GodH3068, 31for You have spokenH1696 alsoH1571 of the houseH1004 of Your servantH5650 concerning the distantH7350 futureH7350. And 32thisH2088 is the 33customH8451 of manH120, O LordH136 GodH3068. 20AgainH5750 whatH4100 moreH5750 can DavidH1732 sayH1696 to You? For 34You knowH3045 Your servantH5650, O LordH136 GodH3068! 2135For the sakeH5668 of Your wordH1697, and according to Your own heartH3820, You have doneH6213 allH3605 thisH2088 greatnessH1420 to let Your servantH5650 knowH3045. 22For thisH3651 reasonH5921H3651 36You are greatH1431, O LordH136 GodH3068; for 37thereH369 is noneH369 likeH3644 You, and thereH369 is noH369 GodH430 besidesH2108 You, 38according to allH3605 that we have heardH8085 with our earsH241. 23And 39whatH4310 oneH259 nationH1471 on the earthH776 is like Your peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, whomH834 GodH430 wentH1980 to redeemH6299 for Himself as a peopleH5971 and to makeH7760 a nameH8034 for Himself, and 40to doH6213 a greatH1420 thingH1420 for You and awesomeH3372 thingsH3372 for Your landH776, beforeH4480H6440 41Your peopleH5971 whomH834 42You have redeemedH6299 for Yourself from EgyptH4714, from nationsH1471 and their godsH430? 24For 43You have establishedH3559 for Yourself Your peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 as Your own peopleH5971 foreverH5704H5769, and 44You, O LordH3068, have becomeH1961 their GodH430. 25NowH6258 therefore, O LordH3068 GodH430, the wordH1697 that You have spokenH1696 concerningH5921 Your servantH5650 and his houseH1004, confirmH6965 it foreverH5704H5769, and doH6213 as You have spokenH1696, 2645that Your nameH8034 may be magnifiedH1431 foreverH5704H5769, by sayingH559, ‘The LordH3068 of hostsH6635 is GodH430 overH5921 IsraelH3478’; and may the houseH1004 of Your servantH5650 DavidH1732 be establishedH3559 beforeH6440 You. 27For You, O LordH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, have 46madeH1540 a revelationH1540H241 to Your servantH5650, sayingH559, ‘47I will buildH1129 you a houseH1004’; thereforeH5921H3651 Your servantH5650 has foundH4672 48courageH3820 to prayH6419 thisH2088 prayerH8605 to You. 28NowH6258, O LordH136 GodH3068, You are GodH430, and 49Your wordsH1697 are truthH571, and You have 50promisedH1696 thisH2088 goodH2899 thingH2899 to Your servantH5650. 29NowH6258 therefore, may it pleaseH2974 You to blessH1288 the houseH1004 of Your servantH5650, that it may continueH1961 foreverH5769 beforeH6440 You.
