1 Chronicles 17:14

Verse 14 of 27. The 17th of 29 chapters in 1 Chronicles, in History.

10and from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover I tell you that the LORD will build you a house.

11It 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.

12He will build me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.

13I 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 who was before you;

14but I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom forever. His throne will be established forever.”’”

15According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.

16Then 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?

17This was a small thing in your eyes, O 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.

18What can David say yet more to you concerning the honor which is done to your servant? For you know your servant.
