1 CHRONICLES 17:27 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Now therefore let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever: for thou blessest, O Lord, and it shall be blessed for ever.”
'Therefore may it please you to bless the house of your servant, so that it may continue forever before you; for you, O LORD, have blessed it, and it shall be blessed forever' — final petition asks blessing for house's perpetuity. Hebrew 'berech' (bless) is repeated for emphasis; David requests what God already began. Blessing's perpetuity flows from God's action.
