²⁸ Please forgive the trespass of your servant. For the Lord will certainly make my lord ^(A)a sure house, because my lord ^(B)is fighting the battles of the Lord, and evil shall not be found in you so long as you live.

³⁸ And if you will listen to all that I command you, and will walk in my ways, and do what is right in my eyes by keeping my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did, ^(A)I will be with you and ^(B)will build you a sure house, as I built for David, and I will give Israel to you.

^11 (A)from the time that I appointed judges over my people Israel. And ^(B)I will give you rest from all your enemies. Moreover, the Lord declares to you that ^(C)the Lord will make you a house.

²⁷ For you, O Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, have made this revelation to your servant, saying, ‘I will build you a house.’ Therefore your servant has found courage to pray this prayer to you.
