Basic HTML Version
thee a great name, like unto the name of the great
men
that
are
in the earth.
10
Moreover I will
appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their
own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as
beforetime,
11
And as since the time that I commanded judges
to be
over my people Israel, and
have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also the L
ORD
telleth thee that he will make thee
an house.
12
And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed
after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
13
He shall build
an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.
14
I will be his father,
and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the
stripes of the children of men:
15
But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took
it
from
Saul, whom I put away before thee.
16
And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for
ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.
17
According to all these words, and
according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.
18
Then went king David in, and sat before the L
ORD
, and he said, Who
am
I, O Lord GOD? and
what
is
my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
19
And this was yet a small thing in thy sight,
O Lord GOD; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant’s house for a great while to come. And
is
this the manner of man, O Lord GOD?
20
And what can David say more unto thee? for thou, Lord
GOD, knowest thy servant.
21
For thy word’s sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou
done all these great things, to make thy servant know
them.
22
Wherefore thou art great, O L
ORD
God: for
there is
none like thee, neither
is there any
God beside thee, according to all that we have
heard with our ears.
23
And what one nation in the earth
is
like thy people,
even
like Israel, whom
God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things
and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee from Egypt,
from
the
nations and their gods?
24
For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel
to be
a people unto
thee for ever: and thou, L
ORD
, art become their God.
25
And now, O L
ORD
God, the word that thou
hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, establish
it
for ever, and do as thou
hast said.
26
And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, The L
ORD
of hosts
is
the God over
Israel: and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee.
27
For thou, O L
ORD
of
hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath
thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee.
28
And now, O Lord GOD, thou
art
that
God, and thy words be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:
29
Therefore
now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee:
for thou, O Lord GOD, hast spoken
it:
and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed
for ever.
