10. from the time when I commanded the judges of My people Israel. I will subdue all your enemies.And I declare to you the Lord will build a house for you.

13. I will be a father to him, and he will be a son to Me. I will not take away My favor from him as I did from the one who was before you.

14. I will assign him a place in My house and in My kingdom forever, and his throne will be established for all time.

16. Then King David came and sat before the Lord, and he said,“Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house that You have brought me this far?

17. This was something small in Your eyes, God, but You have spoken concerning the house of Your servant for a great while to come and have regarded me with the status of a great man, O Lord God.

18. “What more can David speak to You for the honor of Your servant? For You know Your servant.
