2 Samuel 7:4-12
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.
