1 Chronicles 17:3-15
3And it came to pass that nightH3915 that the wordH1697 of 1GodH430 came to NathanH5416 sayingH559,
4Go and sayH559 to DavidH1732 my servantH5650, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: Thou shalt not buildH1129 me a houseH1004 to dwellH3427 in;
5for I have not dweltH3427 in a houseH1004 since the dayH3117 that I broughtH5927 up IsraelH3478 to this dayH3117; but I have beenH1961 from tentH168 to tentH168, and from [oneH2088] tabernacleH4908 [to another].
6In all my goingH1980 about with all IsraelH3478, did I speakH1696 a wordH1697 to any of the judgesH8199 of IsraelH3478, whom I commandedH6680 to feedH7462 my peopleH5971, sayingH559, WhyH4100 buildH1129 ye me not a houseH1004 of cedars?
7And nowH6258, thusH3541 shalt thou sayH559 unto my servantH5650 DavidH1732, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah of hostsH6635: I tookH3947 thee from the pasture-grounds, from following the sheepH6629, to beH1961 princeH5057 over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478;
8and I have beenH1961 with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cutH3772 off all thine enemiesH341 from before thee, and have madeH6213 thee a nameH8034, like unto the nameH8034 of the greatH1419 men that are on the earthH776.
9And I will appointH7760 a placeH4725 for my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and will plantH5193 them, that they may dwellH7931 in a placeH4725 of their own, and be disturbed no more; neither shall the sonsH1121 of wickedness waste them any more, as formerly,
10and since the daysH3117 that I commandedH6680 judgesH8199 to be over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. And I will subdueH3665 all thine enemiesH341; and I tellH5046 thee that Jehovah will buildH1129 thee a houseH1004.
11And it shall come to pass, when thy daysH3117 are fulfilled that thou must go [to beH1961] with thy fathersH1, that I will setH6965 up thy seedH2233 after thee, which shall beH1961 of thy sonsH1121; and I will establishH6965 his kingdomH4438.
12It is he who shall buildH1129 me a houseH1004, and I will establishH3559 his throneH3678 for everH5769.
13I will beH1961 his fatherH1, and he shall beH1961 my sonH1121; and I will not take awayH5493 my mercy from him, as I took it from him that wasH1961 before thee;
14and I will settle him in my houseH1004 and in my kingdomH4438 for everH5769; and his throneH3678 shall beH1961 establishedH3559 for everH5769.
15According to all these wordsH1697, and according to all this visionH2377, soH3651 did NathanH5416 speakH1696 to DavidH1732.
