1 Chronicles 17:4-14

4“Go and tell David My servant, ‘Thus says the Lord, “1You shall not build a house for Me to dwell in; 5for I have not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up Israel to this day, 2but I have 3gone from tent to tent and from one dwelling place to another. 6In all places where I have walked with all Israel, have I spoken a word 4with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd My people, saying, ‘Why have you not built for Me a house of cedar?’”’ 7Now, therefore, thus shall you say to My servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, “I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, to be leader over My people Israel. 8I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you; and I will make you a name like the name of the great ones who are in the earth. 9I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will plant them, so that they may dwell in their own place and not be moved again; and the 5wicked will not waste them anymore as formerly, 10even from the day that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel. And I will subdue all your enemies.

Moreover, I tell you that the Lord will build a house for you. 11When your days are fulfilled that you must go to be with your fathers, that I will set up one of your 6descendants after you, who will be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom. 12He shall build for Me a house, and I will establish his throne forever. 137I will be his father and he shall be My son; and I will not take My lovingkindness away from him, 8as I took it from him who was before you. 14But I will settle him in My house and in My kingdom forever, and his throne shall be established forever.”’”
