In context
16 And your family and your kingdom will keep their place before me for ever: the seat of your authority will never be overturned.
17 So Nathan gave David an account of all these words and this vision.
18 Then David the king went in and took his seat before the Lord, and said, Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my family, that you have been my guide till now?
19 And this was only a small thing to you, O Lord God; but your words have even been about the far-off future of your servant's family, O Lord God!
20 What more may David say to you? for you have knowledge of your servant, O Lord God.
21 Because of your word and from your heart, you have done all this great work, and let your servant see it.
22 Truly you are great, O Lord God: there is no one like you and no other God but you, as is clear from everything which has come to our ears.
