1
Now it came
about when
the king
lived
in his house,
and the LORD
had given him rest
on every side
from all
his enemies,
2
that the king
said
to Nathan
the prophet,
"See
now,
I dwell
in a house
of cedar,
but the ark
of God
dwells
within
tent curtains."
3
Nathan
said
to the king,
"Go,
do
all
that is in your mind,
for the LORD
is with you."
4
But in the same
night
the word
of the LORD
came
to Nathan,
saying,
5
"Go
and say
to My servant
David,
'Thus
says
the LORD,
"Are you the one who should build
Me a house
to dwell
in?
6
"For I have not dwelt
in a house
since
the day
I brought
up the sons
of Israel
from Egypt,
even to this
day;
but I have been
moving
about in a tent,
even in a tabernacle.
7
"Wherever
I have gone
with all
the sons
of
Israel,
did I speak
a word
with one
of the tribes
of
Israel,
which
I commanded
to shepherd
My people
Israel,
saying,
'Why
have you not built
Me a house
of cedar?'"'
8
"Now
therefore, thus
you shall say
to My servant
David,
'Thus
says
the LORD
of hosts,
"I took
you from the pasture,
from following
the sheep,
to be ruler
over
My people
Israel.
9
"I have been
with you wherever
you have gone
and have cut off
all
your enemies
from before
you; and I will make
you a great
name,
like the names
of the great men
who
are on the earth.
10
"I will also appoint
a place
for My people
Israel
and will plant
them, that they may live
in their own place
and not be disturbed
again,
nor
will the wicked
afflict
them any more
as formerly,
11
even from the day
that I commanded
judges
to be over
My people
Israel;
and I will give you rest
from all
your enemies.
The LORD
also declares
to you that the LORD
will make
a house
for you.
12
"When
your days
are complete
and you lie down
with your fathers,
I will raise
up your descendant
after
you, who
will come forth
from you, and I will establish
his kingdom.
13
"He shall build
a house
for My name,
and I will establish
the throne
of his kingdom
forever.
14
"I will be a father
to him and he will be a son
to Me; when
he commits iniquity,
I will correct
him with the rod
of men
and the strokes
of the sons
of men
,
15
but My lovingkindness
shall not depart
from him, as I took
it away
from Saul,
whom
I removed
from before
you.
16
"Your house
and your kingdom
shall endure
before
Me forever;
your throne
shall be established
forever."'"
17
In accordance with all
these
words
and all
this
vision,
so
Nathan
spoke
to David.
18
Then David
the king
went
in and sat
before
the LORD,
and he said,
"Who
am I, O Lord
GOD,
and what
is my house,
that You have brought
me this far?
19
"And yet
this
was insignificant
in Your eyes,
O Lord
GOD,
for You have spoken
also
of the house
of Your servant
concerning the distant future.
And
this
is the custom
of man,
O Lord
GOD.
20
"Again
what
more
can David
say
to You? For You know
Your servant,
O Lord
GOD!
21
"For the sake
of Your word,
and according to Your own heart,
You have done
all
this
greatness
to let Your servant
know.
22
"For this
reason
You are great,
O Lord
GOD;
for there
is none
like
You, and there is no
God
besides
You, according to all
that we have heard
with our ears.
23
"And what
one
nation
on the earth
is like
Your people
Israel,
whom
God
went
to redeem
for Himself as a people
and to make
a name
for Himself, and to do
a great thing
for You and awesome things
for Your land,
before
Your people
whom
You have redeemed
for Yourself from Egypt,
from nations
and their gods?
24
"For You have established
for Yourself Your people
Israel
as Your own people
forever,
and You, O LORD,
have become
their God.
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,
26
that Your name
may be magnified
forever,
by saying,
'The LORD
of hosts
is God
over
Israel';
and may the house
of Your servant
David
be established
before
You.
27
"For You, O LORD
of hosts,
the God
of Israel,
have made a revelation
to
Your servant
,
saying,
'
I will build
you a house';
therefore
Your servant
has found
courage
to pray
this
prayer
to You.
28
"Now,
O Lord
GOD,
You are God,
and Your words
are truth,
and You have promised
this
good thing
to Your servant.
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
."
