2 Samuel 7:17 CPDV

¹⁵  But my mercy I will not take away from him, as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from before my face.

¹⁶  And your house shall be faithful, and your kingdom shall be before your face, for eternity, and your throne shall be secure continuously.'

¹⁷  According to all these words, and according to this entire vision, so did Nathan speak to David.

¹⁸  Then king David entered and sat before the Lord, and he said: 'Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that you would bring me to this point?

¹⁹  Moreover, this has seemed little in your sight, O Lord God, unless you also will speak about the house of your servant for a long time. For this is the law of Adam, O Lord God.
