1 Chronicles 17:13-21
English Standard Version
Chapter 17
13I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son. I will not take my steadfast love from him, as I took it from him who was before you, 14but I will confirm him in my house and in my kingdom forever, and his throne shall be established forever.’" 15In accordance with all these words, and in accordance with all this vision, Nathan spoke to David.
16Then King David went in and sat before the Lord and said, "Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far?
17And this was a small thing in your eyes, O God. You have also spoken of your servant 's house for a great while to come, and have shown me future generations, O Lord God!
18And what more can David say to you for honoring your servant? For you know your servant.
19For your servant 's sake, O Lord, and according to your own heart, you have done all this greatness, in making known all these great things.
20There is none like you, O Lord, and there is no God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
21And who is like your people Israel, the one nation on earth whom God went to redeem to be his people, making for yourself a name for great and awesome things, in driving out nations before your people whom you redeemed from Egypt?
