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.
