2that the kingH4428 saidH559 to 1NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, “SeeH7200 nowH4994, I liveH3427 in 2a houseH1004 of cedarH730, but the arkH727 of GodH430 3remainsH3427 withinH8432 the tentH3407.” 3NathanH5416 saidH559 to the kingH4428, “4GoH1980, doH6213 allH3605 that is in your mindH3824, for the LordH3068 is with you.”

4But in the sameH1931 nightH3915, the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to NathanH5416, sayingH559, 5“GoH1980 and sayH559 to My servantH5650 DavidH1732, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: “5Should you buildH1129 Me a houseH1004 for My dwellingH3427? 6For 6I have not dweltH3427 in a houseH1004 sinceH4480 the dayH3117 I broughtH5927 upH5927 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 from EgyptH4714, even to thisH2088 dayH3117; rather, I have beenH1961 movingH1980 aboutH1980 7in a tentH168, that is, in a dwellingH4908 placeH4908. 78WhereverH3605H834 I have goneH1980 with allH3605 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, did I speakH1696 a wordH1697 with oneH259 of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, 9whomH834 I commandedH6680 to shepherdH7462 My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, sayingH559, ‘WhyH4100 have you not builtH1129 Me a houseH1004 of cedarH730?’”’
