12 He shall build for Me a Bais, and I will establish his kisse ad olam.
13 I will be his Av, and he shall be My Ben [HaElohim]; and I will not take My chesed away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee,
14 But I will set him in Mine Bais and in My Malchut ad olam, and his kisse shall be established ad olam.
15 According to all these devarim, and according to all this chazon (revelation), so did Natan speak unto Dovid.
16 And Dovid HaMelech came and sat before Hashem, and said, Who am I, Hashem Elohim, and what is mine bais, that Thou hast brought me hitherto?
17 And as if this were not sufficient in Thine eyes, O Elohim, Thou hast also spoken of Bais Avdecha in the future afar off, and hast regarded me according to the estate of ha'adam hama'alah (the man of high degree), O Hashem Elohim.
18 What more can Dovid speak to Thee regarding the kavod of Thy eved? For Thou hast da'as of Thy eved.
