13:017:014 But I will settle him in mine house and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for evermore. 13:017:015 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David. 13:017:016 And David the king came and sat before the LORD, and said, Who am I, O LORD God, and what is mine house, that thou hast brought me hitherto? 13:017:017 And yet this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God; for thou hast also spoken of thy servant's house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O LORD God. 13:017:018 What can David speak more to thee for the honour of thy servant? for thou knowest thy servant. 13:017:019 O LORD, for thy servant's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, in making known all these great things. 13:017:020 O LORD, there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears. 13:017:021 And what one nation in the earth is like thy people Israel, whom God went to redeem to be his own people, to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt? 13:017:022 For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people for ever; and thou, LORD, becamest their God. 13:017:023 Therefore now, LORD, let the thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as thou hast said. 13:017:024 Let it even be established, that thy name may be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: and let the house of David thy servant be established before thee. 13:017:025 For thou, O my God, hast told thy servant that thou wilt build him an house: therefore thy servant hath found in his heart to pray before thee. 13:017:026 And now, LORD, thou art God, and hast promised this goodness unto thy servant: 13:017:027 Now therefore let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever: for thou blessest, O LORD, and it shall be blessed for ever. 13:018:001 Now after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and her towns out of the hand of the Philistines. 13:018:002 And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became David's servants, and brought gifts. 13:018:003 And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates.
