2 Samuel 7:4-8
4But in the sameH1931 nightH3915 the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to NathanH5416, sayingH559,
5“GoH1980 and sayH559 to My servantH5650 DavidH1732, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “1Are you the one who should buildH1129 Me a houseH1004 to dwellH3427 in?
6For 2I have not dweltH3427 in a houseH1004 sinceH4480 the dayH3117 I broughtH5927 up the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 from EgyptH4714, even to thisH2088 dayH3117; but I have beenH1961 movingH1980 about 3in a tentH168, even in a 4tabernacleH4908.
75WhereverH3605H834 I have goneH1980 with allH3605 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, did I speakH1696 a wordH1697 with oneH259 of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, 6whichH834 I commandedH6680 to shepherdH7462 My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, sayingH559, ‘WhyH4100 have you not builtH1129 Me a houseH1004 of cedarH730?’”’
8NowH6258 therefore, thusH3541 you shall sayH559 to My servantH5650 DavidH1732, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, “7I tookH3947 you from the pastureH5116, from followingH310 the sheepH6629, 8to be rulerH5057 overH5921 My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478.
