15but my lovingkindness shall not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.
16And thy house and thy kingdom shall be made sure for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.
17According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.
18Then David the king went in, and sat before Jehovah; and he said, Who am I, O Lord Jehovah, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me thus far?
19And this was yet a small thing in thine eyes, O Lord Jehovah; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant`s house for a great while to come; and this [too] after the manner of men, O Lord Jehovah!
20And what can David say more unto thee? for thou knowest thy servant, O Lord Jehovah.
21For thy word`s sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou wrought all this greatness, to make thy servant know it.
