2 Samuel 7:12-29

12And when thy daysH3117 be fulfilledH4390, and thou shalt sleepH7901 with thy fathersH1, I will set upH6965 thy seedH2233 afterH310 thee, which shall proceedH3318 out of thy bowelsH4578, and I will establishH3559 his kingdomH4467. 13He shall buildH1129 an houseH1004 for my nameH8034, and I will stablishH3559 the throneH3678 of his kingdomH4467 forH5704 everH5769. 14I will be his fatherH1, and he shall be my sonH1121. If he commit iniquityH5753, I will chastenH3198 him with the rodH7626 of menH582, and with the stripesH5061 of the childrenH1121 of menH120: 15But my mercyH2617 shall not depart awayH5493 from him, as I tookH5493 it from SaulH7586, whom I put awayH5493 beforeH6440 thee. 16And thine houseH1004 and thy kingdomH4467 shall be establishedH539 forH5704 everH5769 beforeH6440 thee: thy throneH3678 shall be establishedH3559 forH5704 everH5769. 17According to all these wordsH1697, and according to all this visionH2384, so did NathanH5416 speakH1696 unto DavidH1732.

18Then wentH935 kingH4428 DavidH1732 in, and satH3427 beforeH6440 YhwhH3068, and he saidH559, Who am I, O LordH136 YhwhH3069? and what is my houseH1004, that thou hast broughtH935 me hithertoH1988? 19And this was yet a small thingH6994 in thy sightH5869, O LordH136 YhwhH3069; but thou hast spokenH1696 also of thy servant’sH5650 houseH1004 for a great while to comeH7350. And is this the mannerH8452 of manH120, O LordH136 YhwhH3069?1 20And what canH3254 DavidH1732 sayH1696 moreH3254 unto thee? for thou, LordH136 YhwhH3069, knowestH3045 thy servantH5650. 21For thy word’sH1697 sake, and according to thine own heartH3820, hast thou doneH6213 all these great thingsH1420, to make thy servantH5650 knowH3045 them. 22Wherefore thou art greatH1431, O YhwhH3068 GodH430: for there is none like thee, neither is there any GodH430 besideH2108 thee, according to all that we have heardH8085 with our earsH241. 23And what oneH259 nationH1471 in the earthH776 is like thy peopleH5971, even like IsraelH3478, whom GodH430 wentH1980 to redeemH6299 for a peopleH5971 to himself, and to makeH7760 him a nameH8034, and to doH6213 for you great thingsH1420 and terribleH3372, for thy landH776, beforeH6440 thy peopleH5971, which thou redeemedstH6299 to thee from EgyptH4714, from the nationsH1471 and their godsH430? 24For thou hast confirmedH3559 to thyself thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 to be a peopleH5971 unto thee forH5704 everH5769: and thou, YhwhH3068, art becomeH1961 their GodH430. 25And now, O YhwhH3068 GodH430, the wordH1697 that thou hast spokenH1696 concerning thy servantH5650, and concerning his houseH1004, establishH6965 it forH5704 everH5769, and doH6213 as thou hast saidH1696. 26And let thy nameH8034 be magnifiedH1431 forH5704 everH5769, sayingH559, YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635 is the GodH430 over IsraelH3478: and let the houseH1004 of thy servantH5650 DavidH1732 be establishedH3559 beforeH6440 thee. 27For thou, O YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635, GodH430 of IsraelH3478, hast revealedH241H1540 to thy servantH5650, sayingH559, I will buildH1129 thee an houseH1004: therefore hath thy servantH5650 foundH4672 in his heartH3820 to prayH6419 this prayerH8605 unto thee.2 28And now, O LordH136 YhwhH3069, thou art that GodH430, and thy wordsH1697 be trueH571, and thou hast promisedH1696 this goodnessH2896 unto thy servantH5650: 29Therefore now let it pleaseH2974 thee to blessH1288 the houseH1004 of thy servantH5650, that it may continue for everH5769 beforeH6440 thee: for thou, O LordH136 YhwhH3069, hast spokenH1696 it: and with thy blessingH1293 let the houseH1004 of thy servantH5650 be blessedH1288 for everH5769.3
