13:017:009 Also I will ordain a place for my people
Israel, and will
plant
them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall
be
moved
no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste
them
any more, as at the beginning,
13:017:010 And since the time that I commanded judges
to be over my
people
Israel. Moreover I will subdue all thine enemies.
Furthermore
I tell thee that the lord will build thee an
house.
13:017:011 And it shall come to pass, when thy days
be expired that thou
must
go to be with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy
seed
after
thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish
his
kingdom.
13:017:012 He shall build me an house, and I will
stablish his throne for
ever.
13:017:013 I will be his father, and he shall be my
son: and I will not
take
my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that
was
before
thee:
13:017:014 But I will settle him in mine house and
in my kingdom for
ever:
and his throne shall be established for evermore.
13:017:015 According to all these words, and according
to all this
vision,
so did Nathan speak unto David.
13:017:016 And David the king came and sat before
the lord, and said, Who
am
I, O lord God, and what is mine house, that thou
hast
brought
me hitherto?
13:017:017 And yet this was a small thing in thine
eyes, O God; for thou
hast
also spoken of thy servant’s house for a great
while to
come,
and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man
of
high
degree, O lord God.
13:017:018 What can David speak more to thee for the
honour of thy
servant?
for thou knowest thy servant.
13:017:019 O lord, for thy servant’s sake,
and according to thine own
heart,
hast thou done all this greatness, in making known
all
these
great things.
13:017:020 O lord, there is none like thee, neither
is there any God
beside
thee, according to all that we have heard with our
ears.
13:017:021 And what one nation in the earth is like
thy people Israel,
whom
God went to redeem to be his own people, to make thee
a
name
of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations
from
before thy people whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt?
13:017:022 For thy people Israel didst thou make thine
own people for
ever;
and thou, lord, becamest their God.
13:017:023 Therefore now, lord, let the thing
that thou hast spoken
concerning
thy servant and concerning his house be established
for
ever, and do as thou hast said.
