2 Samuel 7:24-29 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

24. You made the people of Israel your very own people forever. And, Lord, you became their God.

25. “Now, Lord God, keep the promise you made about my family and me, your servant. Do what you have promised.

26. Then you will be honored forever. And people will say, ‘The Lord of heaven’s armies is God over Israel!’ And the family of your servant David will continue before you.

27. “Lord of heaven’s armies, the God of Israel, you have shown things to me. You have said, ‘I will make your family great.’ So I, your servant, am brave enough to pray to you.

28. Lord God, you are God, and your words are true. And you have promised these good things to me, your servant.

29. Please, bless my family. Let it continue before you forever. Lord God, you have said these wonderful things. With your blessing let my family be blessed forever.”
