New King James Version (NKJV)
2 Samuel 7
24 For You have made Your people Israel Your very own people forever; and You, Lord, have become their God.
25 Now, O Lord God, the word which You have spoken concerning Your servant and concerning his house, establish it forever and do as You have said.
26 So let Your name be magnified forever, saying, ’The Lord of hosts is the God over Israel.’ And let the house of Your servant David be established before You.
27 For You, O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, have revealed this to Your servant, saying, ’I will build you a house.’ Therefore Your servant has found it in his heart to pray this prayer to You.
28 And now, O Lord God, You are God, and Your words are true, and You have promised this goodness to Your servant.
29 Now therefore, let it please You to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue forever before You; for You, O Lord God, have spoken it, and with Your blessing let the house of Your servant be blessed forever."
2 Samuel 8
1 After this it came to pass that David attacked the Philistines and subdued them. And David took Metheg Ammah from the hand of the Philistines.
2 Then he defeated Moab. Forcing them down to the ground, he measured them off with a line. With two lines he measured off those to be put to death, and with one full line those to be kept alive. So the Moabites became David’s servants, and brought tribute.
3 David also defeated Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his territory at the River Euphrates.
4 David took from him one thousand chariots, seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand foot soldiers. Also David hamstrung all the chariot horses, except that he spared enough of them for one hundred chariots.
5 When the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David killed twenty-two thousand of the Syrians.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
