7WHEN KING David dwelt in his house and the Lord had given him rest from all his surrounding enemies,H4428H3427H1004H3068H5117H5439H341 2The king said to Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells within curtains.H4428H559H5416H5030H7200H3427H1004H730H727H430H3427H8432H3407 3And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in your heart, for the Lord is with you.H5416H559H4428H3212H6213H3824H3068 4That night the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying,H3915H1697H3068H5416H559 5Go and tell My servant David, Thus says the Lord: Shall you build Me a house in which to dwell?H3212H559H5650H1732H559H3068H1129H1004H3427 6For I have not dwelt in a house since I brought the Israelites out of Egypt to this day, but have moved about with a tent for My dwelling.H3427H1004H3117H5927H1121H3478H4714H3117H1980H168H4908 7In all the places where I have moved with all the Israelites, did I speak a word to any from the tribes of Israel whom I commanded to be shepherd of My people Israel, asking, Why do you not build Me a house of cedar?H1980H1121H3478H1696H1697H259H7626H3478H6680H7462H5971H3478H559H1129H1004H730 8So now say this to My servant David, Thus says the Lord of hosts: I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, to be prince over My people Israel.H559H5650H1732H559H3068H6635H3947H5116H310H6629H5057H5971H3478 9And I was with you wherever you went, and have cut off all your enemies from before you; and I will make you a great name, like [that] of the great men of the earth.H1980H3772H341H6440H6213H1419H8034H8034H1419H776 10And I will appoint a place for My people Israel and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own and be moved no more. And wicked men shall afflict them no more, as formerlyH7760H4725H5971H3478H5193H7931H7264H1121H5766H6031H3254H7223 11And as from the time that I appointed judges over My people Israel; and I will cause you to rest from all your enemies. Also the Lord declares to you that He will make for you a house:H3117H6680H8199H5971H3478H5117H341H3068H5046H6213H1004 12And when your days are fulfilled and you sleep with your fathers, I will set up after you your offspring who shall be born to you, and I will establish his kingdom.H3117H4390H7901H1H6965H2233H310H3318H4578H3559H4467 13He shall build a house for My Name [and My Presence], and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.H1129H1004H8034H3559H3678H4467H5704H5769 14I will be his Father, and he shall be My son. When he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men and with the stripes of the sons of men.H1H1121H5753H3198H7626H582H5061H1121H120 15But My mercy {and} loving-kindness shall not depart from him, as I took [them] from Saul, whom I took away from before you.H2617H5493H5493H7586H5493H6440 16And your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before you; your throne shall be established forever.H1004H4467H539H5704H5769H6440H3678H3559H5704H5769 17In accordance with all these words and all this vision Nathan spoke to David.H1697H2384H5416H1696H1732 18Then King David went in and sat before the Lord, and said, Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that You have brought me this far?H935H4428H1732H3427H6440H3068H559H136H3069H1004H935H1988 19Then as if this were a little thing in Your eyes, O Lord God, You have spoken also of Your servant's house in the far distant future. And this is the law for man, O Lord God!H6994H5869H136H3069H1696H5650H1004H7350H8452H120H136H3069 20What more can David say to You? For You know Your servant, O Lord God.H3254H1732H1696H3254H136H3069H3045H5650 21Because of Your promise and as Your own heart dictates, You have done all these astounding things to make Your servant know {and} understand.H1697H3820H6213H1420H5650H3045 22Therefore You are great, O Lord God; for none is like You, nor is there any God besides You, according to all [You have made] our ears to hear.H1431H3068H430H430H2108H8085H241 23What [other] one nation on earth is like Your people Israel, whom God went to redeem to be a people for Himself and to make for Himself a name? You have done great and terrible things for Yourself {and} for Your land, before Your people, whom You redeemed {and} delivered for Yourself from Egypt, from the nations and their gods.H259H1471H776H5971H3478H430H1980H6299H5971H7760H8034H6213H1420H3372H776H6440H5971H6299H4714H1471H430 24And You have established for Yourself Your people Israel to be Your people forever, and You, Lord, became their God.H3559H5971H3478H5971H5704H5769H3068H1961H430 25Now, O Lord God, confirm forever the word You have given as to Your servant and his house; and do as You have said,H3068H430H1697H1696H5650H1004H6965H5704H5769H6213H1696 26And Your name [and presence] shall be magnified forever, saying, The Lord of hosts is God over Israel; and the house of Your servant David will be made firm before You.H8034H1431H5704H5769H559H3068H6635H430H3478H1004H5650H1732H3559H6440 27For You, O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, have revealed this to Your servant: I will build you a house. So Your servant has found courage to pray this prayer to You.H3068H6635H430H3478H1540H241H5650H559H1129H1004H5650H4672H3820H6419H8605 28And now, O Lord God, You are God, and Your words are truth, and You have promised this good thing to Your servant.H136H3069H430H1697H571H1696H2896H5650 29Therefore now 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 [his] house be blessed forever.H2974H1288H1004H5650H5769H6440H136H3069H1696H1293H1004H5650H1288H5769
