16 Your dynasty and your kingdom will be secured forever before me. Your throne will be established forever.
17 Nathan reported all of these words and this entire vision to David.
18 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?
19 But even this was too small in your eyes, Lord God! Now you have also spoken about your servant’s dynasty in the future and the generation to come, Lord God!
20 What more can David say to you? You know your servant, Lord God.
21 For the sake of your word and according to your own will, you have done this great thing so that your servant would know it.
22 That is why you are so great, Lord God! No one can compare to you, no god except you, just as we have always heard with our own ears.
