2 Sam. 7:11 Even since the time when I commanded [that there be] judges over My people Israel; and I will give you rest from all your enemies. Moreover Jehovah declares to you that Jehovah will make you a house.
2 Sam. 7:12 When your days are fulfilled and you sleep with your fathers, I will raise up your seed after you, which will come forth from your body, and I will establish his kingdom.
2 Sam. 7:13 It is he who will build a house for My name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.
2 Sam. 7:14 I will be his Father, and he will be My son. If he commits iniquity, I will strike him with the rod of men and with the stripes of the sons of men;
2 Sam. 7:15 But My lovingkindness will not depart from him, as I took [it] away from Saul, whom I put away before you.
2 Sam. 7:16 And your house and your kingdom will be made sure forever before you; your throne will be established forever.
2 Sam. 7:17 According to all these words and according to this whole vision did Nathan speak to David.
2 Sam. 7:18 Then King David went and sat before Jehovah; and he said, Who am I, O Lord Jehovah, and what is my house that You have brought me this far?
2 Sam. 7:19 And this was yet a small thing in Your sight, O Lord Jehovah; but You have spoken also of the house of Your servant for a great while to come; and is this the custom for man, O Lord Jehovah?

2 Sam. 7:23 And who is like Your people Israel, a nation unique on the earth, whom God went to redeem to Himself as a people in order to make a name for Himself and to do for You what is great and awesome for Your land [and] before Your people, which You have redeemed to Yourself out of Egypt, [from] the nations and their gods?
2 Sam. 7:24 And You have established Your people Israel to be a people to You forever, and You, O Jehovah, became their God.
2 Sam. 7:25 And now, O Jehovah God, confirm forever the word which You have spoken concerning Your servant and concerning his house, and do as You have spoken.
2 Sam. 7:26 And may Your name be magnified forever when [men] say, Jehovah of hosts is God over Israel; and the house of Your servant David will be established before You.
2 Sam. 7:27 For You, O Jehovah of hosts, God of Israel, have revealed to Your servant, saying, I will build you a house; therefore Your servant has found [it] in his heart to pray this prayer to You.
2 Sam. 7:28 And now, O Lord Jehovah, You are God, and Your words are true, and You have spoken this good matter to Your servant;
2 Sam. 7:29 Now therefore may it please You to bless the house of Your servant, that it may be before You forever; for You, O Lord Jehovah, have spoken [it.] And with Your blessing may the house of Your servant be blessed forever.
