1 Chronicles 17:16

14 And ^aI will establish him in My house and in My kingdom forever; and his throne shall be established forever.” ’ ”

15 According to all these words and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.

16 ^aThen King David went in and sat before the Lord; and he 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 sight, O God; and You have also spoken of Your servant’s house for a great while to come, and have regarded me according to the rank of a man of high degree, O Lord God.

18 What more can David say 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, You have done all this greatness, in making known all these great things.
