1 Chronicles 17:4-14
4“GoH1980 and tellH559H413 My servantH5650 DavidH1732 that this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559: YouH859 are notH3808 the one to buildH1129 Me a houseH1004 in which to dwellH3427. 5ForH3588 I have notH3808 dweltH3427 in a houseH1004 fromH4480 the dayH3117 I broughtH5927 Israel upH3478 out of Egypt1 untilH5704 thisH2088 dayH3117, but I have movedH1961 from tentH168 toH413 tentH168 and dwelling to dwellingH4908. 6In allH3605 My journeysH1980 with allH3605 the IsraelitesH3478, have I ever askedH1696H1697H854 anyH259 of the leadersH8199H34782 I appointedH6680 to shepherdH7462 My peopleH5971, ‘WhyH4100 haven’tH3808 you builtH1129 Me a houseH1004 of cedarH730?’
7NowH6258 thenH3541, you are to tellH559 My servantH5650 DavidH1732 that this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635 saysH559: IH589 tookH3947 you fromH4480 the pastureH5116, fromH4480 followingH310 the flockH6629, to beH1961 the rulerH5057 overH5921 My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. 8I have beenH1961 with youH5973 whereverH3605 you have goneH1980, and I have cut offH3772 allH3605 your enemiesH341 from before youH6440. Now I will makeH6213 for you a nameH8034 like that ofH8034 the greatestH1419 in the landH776.
9And I will provideH7760 a placeH4725 for My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 and will plant themH5193 so that they may dwell inH7931 a place of their ownH8478 and be disturbedH7264 noH3808 moreH5750. NoH3808 longerH3254 will the sonsH1121 of wickednessH5766 oppress themH1086 as they didH834 at the beginningH7223 10and have done since the dayH3117 I appointedH6680 judgesH8199 overH5921 My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. And I will subdueH3665 allH3605 your enemiesH341.
Moreover, I declareH5046 to you that the LORDH3068 will buildH1129 a houseH1004 for you. 11AndH1961 whenH3588 your daysH3117 are fulfilledH4390 and you goH1980 to be withH5973 your fathersH1, I will raise upH6965 your descendantH2233 after youH310, one of your own sonsH1121, and I will establishH3559 his kingdomH4438. 12HeH1931 will buildH1129 a houseH1004 for Me, and I will establishH3559 his throneH3678 foreverH5704H5769. 13IH589 will beH1961 his FatherH1, and heH1931 will beH1961 My sonH1121. And I will neverH3808 removeH5493 My loving devotionH2617 from himH5973 asH834 I removedH5493 it from your predecessorH834H1961H6440. 14But I will set himH5975 over My houseH1004 and My kingdomH4438 foreverH5704H5769, and his throneH3678 will beH1961 establishedH3559 foreverH5704H5769.”
