12he doth build for Me a house, and I have established his throne unto the age;
13I am to him for a father, and he is to Me for a son, and My kindness I turn not aside from him as I turned it aside from him who was before thee,
14and I have established him in My house, and in My kingdom unto the age, and his throne is established unto the age.`
15According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so spake Nathan unto David.
16And David the king cometh in and sitteth before Jehovah, and saith, `Who [am] I, O Jehovah God, and what my house, that Thou hast brought me hitherto?
17And this is small in Thine eyes, O God, and Thou speakest concerning the house of thy servant afar off, and hast seen me as a type of the man who is on high, O Jehovah God!
18`What doth David add more unto Thee for the honour of Thy servant; and Thou Thy servant hast known.
