13 I will become his father and he will become my son, and I’ll never withdraw my faithful love from him as I did from the one before you.
14 I’ll install him in my house and in my kingdom forever, and his throne will be established forever.
15 Nathan faithfully reported all that he had seen and heard to David.
16 Then King David went and sat in the Lord’s presence. He asked:Who am I, Lord God, and of what significance is my family that you have brought me this far?
17 But even this was too small in your eyes, God. You have spoken about the future of your servant’s dynasty and have chosen me as an important person, Lord God.
18 What more can I say to you for honoring your servant? You yourself know your servant.
19 Lord, for your servant’s sake and according to your will, you have done this great thing in order to make all these great things known.
