1 Chronicles 17
And it came to pass, when DavidH1732 dweltH3427 in his houseH1004, that DavidH1732 saidH559 to NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, Lo, I dwellH3427 in a houseH1004 of cedarH730, but the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of JehovahH3068 dwelleth under curtainsH3407.
And NathanH5416 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, DoH6213 all that is in thy heartH3824; for GodH430 is with thee.
And it came to pass the same nightH3915, that the wordH1697 of GodH430 came to NathanH5416, sayingH559,
GoH3212 and tellH559 DavidH1732 my servantH5650, Thus saithH559 JehovahH3068, Thou shalt not buildH1129 me a houseH1004 to dwell inH3427:
for I have not dwelt inH3427 a houseH1004 since the dayH3117 that I brought upH5927 IsraelH3478, unto this dayH3117, but have gone from tentH168 to tentH168, and from one tabernacleH4908 to another.
In all places wherein I have walkedH1980 with all IsraelH3478, spakeH1696 I a wordH1697 with anyH259 of the judgesH8199 of IsraelH3478, whom I commandedH6680 to be shepherdH7462 of my peopleH5971, sayingH559, Why have ye not builtH1129 me a houseH1004 of cedarH730?
Now therefore thus shalt thou sayH559 unto my servantH5650 DavidH1732, Thus saithH559 JehovahH3068 of hostsH6635, I tookH3947 thee from the sheepcoteH5116, from followingH310 the sheepH6629, that thou shouldest be princeH5057 over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478:
and I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast goneH1980, and have cut offH3772 all thine enemiesH341 from beforeH6440 thee; and I will makeH6213 thee a nameH8034, like unto the nameH8034 of the great onesH1419 that are in the earthH776.
And I will appointH7760 a placeH4725 for my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and will plantH5193 them, that they may dwellH7931 in their own place, and be movedH7264 no more; neither shall the childrenH1121 of wickednessH5766 wasteH1086 them any moreH3254, as at the firstH7223,
and as from the dayH3117 that I commandedH6680 judgesH8199 to be over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478; and I will subdueH3665 all thine enemiesH341. Moreover I tellH5046 thee that JehovahH3068 will buildH1129 thee a houseH1004.
And it shall come to pass, when thy daysH3117 are fulfilledH4390 that thou must goH3212 to be with thy fathersH1, that I will set upH6965 thy seedH2233 afterH310 thee, who shall be of thy sonsH1121; and I will establishH3559 his kingdomH4438.
He shall buildH1129 me a houseH1004, and I will establishH3559 his throneH3678 forH5704 everH5769.
I will be his fatherH1, and he shall be my sonH1121: and I will not takeH5493 my lovingkindnessH2617 awayH5493 from him, as I tookH5493 it from him that was beforeH6440 thee;
but I will settleH5975 him in my houseH1004 and in my kingdomH4438 for everH5769; and his throneH3678 shall be establishedH3559 forH5704 everH5769.
According to all these wordsH1697, and according to all this visionH2377, so did NathanH5416 speakH1696 unto DavidH1732.
Then DavidH1732 the kingH4428 wentH935 in, and satH3427 beforeH6440 JehovahH3068; and he saidH559, Who am I, O JehovahH3068 GodH430, and what is my houseH1004, that thou hast broughtH935 me thus farH1988?
And this was a small thingH6994 in thine eyesH5869, O GodH430; but thou hast spokenH1696 of thy servant'sH5650 houseH1004 for a great while to comeH7350, and hast regardedH7200 me according to the estateH8448 of a manH120 of high degreeH4609, O JehovahH3068 GodH430.
What canH3254 DavidH1732 say yet moreH3254 unto thee concerning the honorH3519 which is done to thy servantH5650? for thou knowestH3045 thy servantH5650.
O JehovahH3068, for thy servant'sH5650 sake, and according to thine own heartH3820, hast thou wroughtH6213 all this greatnessH1420, to make knownH3045 all these great thingsH1420.
O JehovahH3068, there is none like thee, neither is there any GodH430 besidesH2108 thee, according to all that we have heardH8085 with our earsH241.
And what oneH259 nationH1471 in the earthH776 is like thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, whom GodH430 wentH1980 to redeemH6299 unto himself for a peopleH5971, to makeH7760 thee a nameH8034 by greatH1420 and terribleH3372 things, in driving outH1644 nationsH1471 from beforeH6440 thy peopleH5971, whom thou redeemestH6299 out of EgyptH4714?
For thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 didst thou makeH5414 thine own peopleH5971 forH5704 everH5769; and thou, JehovahH3068, becamest their GodH430.
And now, O JehovahH3068, let the wordH1697 that thou hast spokenH1696 concerning thy servantH5650, and concerning his houseH1004, be establishedH539 forH5704 everH5769, and doH6213 as thou hast spokenH1696.
And let thy nameH8034 be establishedH539 and magnifiedH1431 forH5704 everH5769, sayingH559, JehovahH3068 of hostsH6635 is the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, even a GodH430 to IsraelH3478: and the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 thy servantH5650 is establishedH3559 beforeH6440 thee.
For thou, O my GodH430, hast revealedH1540 to thy servantH5650 that thou wilt buildH1129 him a houseH1004: therefore hath thy servantH5650 foundH4672 in his heart to prayH6419 beforeH6440 thee.
And now, O JehovahH3068, thou art GodH430, and hast promisedH1696 this goodH2896 thing unto thy servantH5650:
and now it hath pleasedH2974 thee to blessH1288 the houseH1004 of thy servantH5650, that it may continue for everH5769 beforeH6440 thee: for thou, O JehovahH3068, hast blessedH1288, and it is blessedH1288 for everH5769.
