8. and I have been with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name, like unto the name of the great men that are on the earth.
9. And I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and be disturbed no more; neither shall the sons of wickedness waste them any more, as formerly,
10. and since the days that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. And I will subdue all thine enemies; and I tell thee that Jehovah will build thee a house.
11. And it shall come to pass, when thy days are fulfilled that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom.
12. It is he who shall build me a house, and I will establish his throne for ever.
13. I will be his father, and he shall be my son; and I will not take away my mercy from him, as I took it from him that was before thee;
14. and I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom for ever; and his throne shall be established for ever.
15. According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak to David.
16. And king David went in and sat before Jehovah, and said, Who am I, Jehovah Elohim, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
17. And this hath been a small thing in thy sight, O God and thou hast spoken of thy servant's house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the rank of a man of high degree, Jehovah Elohim.
18. What can David say more to thee for the glory of thy servant? thou indeed knowest thy servant.
