2 Samuel 7:2-17

2that the kingH4428 saidH559 to NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, SeeH7200 now, I dwellH3427 in a houseH1004 of cedarsH730, and the arkH727 of 1GodH430 dwellsH3427 under curtainsH3407.

3And NathanH5416 saidH559 to the kingH4428, Go, do all that is in thy heartH3824; for Jehovah is with thee.

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

5Go and sayH559 to my servantH5650, to DavidH1732, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: Wilt 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 I wentH1980 about in a tentH168 and in a tabernacleH4908.

7In all my goingH1980 about with all the children of IsraelH3478, did I speakH1696 a wordH1697 with any of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, whom I commandedH6680 to feedH7462 my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, sayingH559, WhyH4100 buildH1129 ye me not a houseH1004 of cedarsH730?

8And 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, over IsraelH3478;

9and I have beenH1961 with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cutH3772 off all thine enemiesH341 from before thee, and have madeH6213 thee a greatH1419 nameH8034, like unto the nameH8034 of the greatH1419 men that are on the earthH776.

10And I will appointH7760 a placeH4725 for my peopleH5971, for 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 afflictH6031 them any more, as formerly,

11and since the time that I commandedH6680 judgesH8199 to be over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. And I have givenH5117 thee restH5117 from all thine enemiesH341; and 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, which shall proceed out of thy bowelsH4578, and I will establishH6965 his kingdomH4467.

13It is he who 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 sonsH1121 of menH376;

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

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

17According to all these wordsH1697, and according to all this visionH2384, soH3651 did NathanH5416 speakH1696 to DavidH1732.
