13 aHe shall build a house for My name, and I will bestablish the throne of his kingdom forever.
14 aI will be his Father, and he shall be bMy son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men and with the1 blows of the sons of men.
15 But My mercy shall not depart from him, aas I took it from Saul, whom I removed from before you.
16 And ayour house and your kingdom shall be established forever before1 you. Your throne shall be established forever.” ’ ”
17 According to all these words and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.
David’s Thanksgiving to God
18 Then King David went in and sat before the Lord; and he said: a“Who am I, O Lord God? And what is my house, that You have brought me this far?
19 And yet this was a small thing in Your sight, O Lord God; and You have also spoken of Your servant’s house for a great while to come. aIs this the manner of man, O Lord God?
20 Now what more can David say to You? For You, Lord God, aknow Your servant.
21 For Your word’s sake, and according to Your own heart, You have done all these great things, to make Your servant know them.
22 Therefore aYou are great, O Lord God. For bthere is none like You, nor is there any God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our cears.
23 And who is like Your people, like Israel, athe one nation on the earth whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people, to make for Himself a name—and to do for Yourself great and awesome deeds for Your land—before bYour people whom You redeemed for Yourself from Egypt, the nations, and their gods?
24 For aYou have made Your people Israel Your very own people forever; band You, Lord, have become their God.
