9. I wil establish a place for My people Israel, and plant them, so that they may dwell in their own place and shall tremble no more. Violent people will no longer wear them down, as they did formerly,
10. from the days I ordered judges to be over My people Israel. I will subdue all your enemies.’ “‘Moreover, I declare to you that Adonai will build you a house.
11. It will be that when your days are fulfilled to go with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, one of your own sons, and I will establish his kingdom.
12. He will build a house for Me and I will establish his throne forever.
13. I will be a father to him and he will be a son to Me, I will not withdraw My lovingkindness from him, as I withdrew it from the one who ruled before you.
14. I will appoint him over My House and My kingdom forever, and his throne will be established forever.’”
15. According to all these words and according to all this vision, Nathan spoke to David.
16. Then King David went in and sat before Adonai, and said, “Who am I, Adonai Elohim, and what is my family, that You have brought me thus far?
17. And this was not enough in Your eyes, O God! You have spoken about the future of Your servant’s household. You have regarded me as the most distinquished of men, Adonai Elohim.
18. “What more can David say to You for honoring Your servant? For You know Your servant.
19. Adonai, for the sake of Your servant and according to Your own heart, You have done all these great things, to reveal all Your greatness.
20. “Adonai, there is none like You and there is no other god besides You, as we have heard with our own ears.
21. And who is like Your people Israel—the one nation on earth whom God went out to redeem as a people for Himself and to make a Name for Yourself by great and awesome deeds, by driving out nations from before Your people, whom You redeemed from Egypt?
22. You made Your people Israel Your own people forever, and You, Adonai, became their God.
23. “Now, Adonai, may the word that You have spoken concerning Your servant and his house be confirmed forever. Do as You have spoken
24. so that it might be established and Your Name might be magnified forever, saying, ‘Adonai-Tzva’ot, the God of Israel, is Israel’s God.’ Then the house of David Your servant will be established before You.
