New American Standard Bible (NASB)
1 Chronicles 17
23 "Now, O Lord, let the word that You have spoken concerning Your servant and concerning his house be established forever, and do as You have spoken.
24 Let Your name be established and magnified forever, saying, ’The Lord of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel; and the house of David Your servant is established before You.’
25 For You, O my God, have revealed to Your servant that You will build for him a house; therefore Your servant has found courage to pray before You.
26 Now, O Lord, You are God, and have promised this good thing to Your servant.
27 And now it has pleased You to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue forever before You; for You, O Lord, have blessed, and it is blessed forever."
1 Chronicles 18
1 Now after this it came about that David defeated the Philistines and subdued them and took Gath and its towns from the hand of the Philistines.
2 He defeated Moab, and the Moabites became servants to David, bringing tribute.
3 David also defeated Hadadezer king of Zobah as far as Hamath, as he went to establish his rule to the Euphrates River.
4 David took from him 1,000 chariots and 7,000 horsemen and 20,000 foot soldiers, and David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved enough of them for 100 chariots.
5 When the Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David killed 22,000 men of the Arameans.
6 Then David put garrisons among the Arameans of Damascus; and the Arameans became servants to David, bringing tribute. And the Lord helped David wherever he went.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
