11. And when you will have completed your days, so that you go to your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall be from your sons. And I will establish his kingdom.
12. He shall build a house for me, and I will make firm his throne, even unto eternity.
13. I will be a father to him, and he shall be a son to me. And I will not take away my mercy from him, as I took it away from the one who was before you.
14. And I will station him in my house and in my kingdom, even forever. And his throne will be very firm, in perpetuity."
15. According to all these words, and according to this entire vision, so did Nathan speak to David.
16. And when king David had departed, and had sat down before the Lord, he said: "Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that you would grant such things to me?
17. But even this has seemed little in your sight, and therefore you have also spoken about the house of your servant even for the future. And you have made me a spectacle above all men, O Lord God.
18. What more can David add, since you have so glorified your servant, and have known him?
19. O Lord, because of your servant, in accord with your own heart, you have brought about all this magnificence, and you have willed all these great things to be known.
20. O Lord, there is no one like you. And there is no other God apart from you, out of all whom we have heard about with our ears.
