16 And thy house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee; thy throne shall be established for ever.
17 According to all these words and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.
18 Then King David went in and sat before the Lord, and he said, O Lord GOD, Who am I and what is my house that thou hast brought me thus far?
19 And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord GOD; but thou hast spoken also of thy slave’s house for a great while to come and that this shall be the condition of a man, O Lord GOD.
20 And what more can David say unto thee? For thou, Lord GOD, knowest thy slave.
21 For thou hast done all these great things by thy word and according to thine own heart to make thy slave know them.
22 Therefore, thou art great, O Lord God, for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
