And I will subdue all thine enemies; and I tell thee that Jehovah will build thee a house. 11And it shall come to pass, when thy days are fulfilled that thou must go [to be] with thy fathers, that I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom. 12It is he who shall build me a house, and I will establish his throne for ever. 13I will be his father, and he shall be my son; and I will not take away my mercy from him, as I took it from him that was before thee; 14and I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom for ever; and his throne shall be established for ever. 15According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak to David. 16And king David went in and sat before Jehovah, and said, Who am I, Jehovah Elohim, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto? 17And this hath been a small thing in thy sight, OGod; and thou hast spoken of thy servant's house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the rank of a man of high degree, Jehovah Elohim. 18What can David [say] more to thee for the glory of thy servant? thou indeed knowest thy servant. 19Jehovah, for thy servant's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, to make known all these great things. 20Jehovah, there is none like thee, neither is there anyGod beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears. 21And who is like thy people Israel, the one nation in the earth thatGod went to redeem to be a people to himself, to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people, which thou hast redeemed out of Egypt? 22And thy people Israel hast thou made thine own people for ever; and thou, Jehovah, art become theirGod. 23And now, Jehovah, let the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as thou hast said. 24Let it even be established, and let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, Jehovah of hosts, theGod of Israel, isGod to Israel; and let the house of David thy servant be established before thee. 25For thou, myGod, hast revealed to thy servant that thou wilt build him a house; therefore hath thy servant found [in his heart] to pray before thee. 26And now, Jehovah, thou art thatGod, and hast promised this goodness unto thy servant; 27and now, let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever; for thou, Jehovah, hast blessed [it], and it shall be blessed for ever. ‹Previous chapter1 Chronicles 16Next chapter1 Chronicles 18›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.Versions1 Chronicles 17 across 9 versionsShow all 9WEB - World English BibleKJV - King James VersionASV - American Standard VersionDarby - Darby BibleYLT - Young's Literal TranslationWebster - Webster BibleGeneva - Geneva BibleDouay - Douay-Rheims ChallonerRV1909 - Reina-Valera 1909Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
