18“Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that You have brought me this far?”
21 “For the sake of Your word, and according to Your own heart, You have done all this greatness to let Your servant know.”
25 “Now therefore, O Lord God, the word that You have spoken concerning Your servant and his house, confirm it forever, and do as You have spoken,”
29 “Now therefore, may it please You to bless the house of Your servant that it may continue forever before You. For You, O Lord God, have spoken; and with Your blessing may the house of Your servant be blessed forever.”
