11. It will happen, when your days are fulfilled that you must go to be with your fathers, that I will set up your offspring after you, who will be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom.
12. He will build me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.
13. I will be his father, and he will be my son. I will not take my loving kindness away from him, as I took it from him that was before you;
14. but I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom forever. His throne will be established forever.”’”
15. According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.
16. Then David the king went in, and sat before the Lord; and he said, “Who am I, Lord God, and what is my house, that you have brought me this far?
17. This was a small thing in your eyes, God; but you have spoken of your servant’s house for a great while to come, and have respected me according to the standard of a man of high degree, Lord God.
