2 Samuel 7:4-16

4And it came to pass the same nightH3915, that the wordH1697 of Jehovah came unto NathanH5416, sayingH559,

5Go and tell my servantH5650 DavidH1732, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah, Shalt thou buildH1129 me a houseH1004 for me to dwellH3427 in?

6for I have not dweltH3427 in a houseH1004 since the dayH3117 that I broughtH5927 up the children of IsraelH3478 out of EgyptH4714, even to this dayH3117, but have walkedH1980 in a tentH168 and in a tabernacleH4908.

7In all places wherein I have walkedH1980 with all the children of IsraelH3478, spake I a wordH1697 with any of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, whom I commandedH6680 to be shepherdH7462 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, sayingH559, WhyH4100 have ye not builtH1129 me a houseH1004 of cedarH730?

8NowH6258 thereforeH6258 thusH3541 shalt thou sayH559 unto my servantH5650 DavidH1732, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah of hostsH6635, I tookH3947 thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheepH6629, that thou shouldest beH1961 princeH5057 over my peopleH5971, over IsraelH3478;

9and I have beenH1961 with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cutH3772 off all thine enemiesH341 from before thee; and I will makeH6213 thee a greatH1419 nameH8034, like unto the nameH8034 of the greatH1419 ones that are in the earthH776.

10And I will appointH7760 a placeH4725 for my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and will plantH5193 them, that they may dwellH7931 in their own placeH4725, and be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflictH6031 them any more, as at the firstH7223,

11and as from the dayH3117 that I commandedH6680 judgesH8199 to be over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478; and I will cause thee to restH5117 from all thine enemiesH341. Moreover Jehovah telleth thee that Jehovah will makeH6213 thee a houseH1004.

12When thy daysH3117 are fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathersH1, I will setH6965 up thy seedH2233 after thee, that shall proceed out of thy bowelsH4578, and I will establishH6965 his kingdomH4467.

13He shall buildH1129 a houseH1004 for my nameH8034, and I will establishH3559 the throneH3678 of his kingdomH4467 for everH5769.

14I will beH1961 his fatherH1, and he shall beH1961 my sonH1121: if he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rodH7626 of menH376, and with the stripes of the children of menH376;

15but my lovingkindness shall not departH5493 from him, as I took it from SaulH7586, whom I put awayH5493 before thee.

16And thy houseH1004 and thy kingdomH4467 shall beH1961 made sure for everH5769 before thee: thy throneH3678 shall beH1961 establishedH3559 for everH5769.
