1
And it came
about, when
David
dwelt
in his house,
that
David
said
to Nathan
the prophet,
"Behold,
I am dwelling
in a house
of cedar,
but the ark
of the covenant
of the LORD
is under
curtains."
2
Then Nathan
said
to David,
"Do
all
that is in your heart,
for God
is with you."
3
It
came
about the same
night
that the word
of God
came
to Nathan,
saying,
4
"Go
and tell
David
My servant,
'Thus
says
the LORD,
"You shall not build
a house
for Me to dwell
in;
5
for I have not dwelt
in a house
since
the day
that I brought
up Israel
to this
day,
but I have gone
from tent
to tent
and from one dwelling place
to another.
6
"In all
places where
I have walked
with all
Israel,
have I spoken
a word
with any
of the judges
of
Israel,
whom
I commanded
to shepherd
My people,
saying,
'Why
have you not built
for Me a house
of cedar?'"'
7
"Now,
therefore, thus
shall you say
to My servant
David,
'Thus
says
the LORD
of hosts,
"I took
you from the pasture,
from following
the sheep,
to be leader
over
My people
Israel.
8
"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 name
like the name
of the great ones
who
are in the earth.
9
"I will appoint
a place
for My people
Israel,
and will plant
them, so that they may dwell
in their own place
and not be moved
again;
and the wicked
will not waste
them anymore
as formerly,
10
even from the day
that I commanded
judges
to be over
My people
Israel.
And I will subdue
all
your enemies.
Moreover, I tell
you that the LORD
will build
a house
for you.
11
"When
your days
are fulfilled
that you must go
to be with your fathers,
that I will set
up one of your descendants
after
you, who
will be of your sons;
and I will establish
his kingdom.
12
"He shall build
for Me a house,
and I will establish
his throne
forever.
13
"I will be his father
and he shall be My son;
and I will not take
My lovingkindness
away from him, as I took
it from him who
was before
you.
14
"But I will settle
him in My house
and in My kingdom
forever,
and his throne
shall be established
forever."'"
15
According to all
these
words
and according to all
this
vision,
so
Nathan
spoke
to David.
16
Then David
the king
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?
17
"This
was a small thing
in Your eyes,
O God;
but You have spoken
of Your servant's
house
for a great while to come,
and have regarded
me according to the standard
of a man
of high degree,
O LORD
God.
18
"What
more
can David
still
say to You concerning the honor
bestowed on Your servant?
For You know
Your servant.
19
"O LORD,
for Your servant's
sake,
and according to Your own heart,
You have wrought
all
this
greatness,
to make known
all
these great things.
20
"O LORD,
there
is none
like
You, nor is
there
any God
besides
You, according to all
that we have heard
with our ears.
21
"And what
one
nation
in the earth
is like Your people
Israel,
whom
God
went
to redeem
for Himself as a people,
to make
You a name
by great
and terrible things,
in driving
out nations
from before
Your people,
whom
You redeemed
out of Egypt?
22
"For Your people
Israel
You made
Your own people
forever,
and You, O LORD,
became
their God.
23
"Now,
O LORD,
let the word
that You have spoken
concerning
Your servant
and
concerning
his house
be established
forever,
and do
as You have spoken.
24
"Let Your name
be established
and magnified
forever,
saying,
'The LORD
of hosts
is the God
of Israel,
even a God
to Israel;
and the house
of David
Your servant
is established
before
You.'
25
"For You, O my God,
have revealed
to
Your servant
that You will build
for him a house;
therefore
Your servant
has found
courage to pray
before
You.
26
"Now,
O LORD,
You are God,
and have promised
this
good thing
to Your servant.
27
"And now
it has pleased
You to bless
the house
of Your servant,
that it may continue
forever
before
You; for You, O LORD,
have blessed,
and it is blessed
forever
."
