1 Chronicles 17:1-15

1Now it came to pass, as DavidH1732 satH3427 in his houseH1004, that DavidH1732 saidH559 to NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, Lo, I dwellH3427 in an houseH1004 of cedarsH730, but the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of YhwhH3068 remaineth under curtainsH3407. 2Then NathanH5416 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, DoH6213 all that is in thine heartH3824; for GodH430 is with thee.

3And it came to pass the same nightH3915, that the wordH1697 of GodH430 came to NathanH5416, sayingH559, 4GoH3212 and tellH559 DavidH1732 my servantH5650, Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068, Thou shalt not buildH1129 me an houseH1004 to dwell inH3427: 5For I have not dwelt inH3427 an houseH1004 since the dayH3117 that I brought upH5927 IsraelH3478 unto this dayH3117; but have gone from tentH168 to tentH168, and from one tabernacleH4908 to another.1 6Wheresoever I have walkedH1980 with all IsraelH3478, spakeH1696 I a wordH1697 to anyH259 of the judgesH8199 of IsraelH3478, whom I commandedH6680 to feedH7462 my peopleH5971, sayingH559, Why have ye not builtH1129 me an houseH1004 of cedarsH730? 7Now therefore thus shalt thou sayH559 unto my servantH5650 DavidH1732, Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635, I tookH3947 thee from the sheepcoteH5116, even from followingH310 the sheepH6629, that thou shouldest be rulerH5057 over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478:2 8And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walkedH1980, and have cut offH3772 all thine enemiesH341 from beforeH6440 thee, and have madeH6213 thee a nameH8034 like the nameH8034 of the great menH1419 that are in the earthH776. 9Also I will ordainH7760 a placeH4725 for my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and will plantH5193 them, and they shall dwellH7931 in their place, and shall be movedH7264 no more; neither shall the childrenH1121 of wickednessH5766 wasteH1086 them any moreH3254, as at the beginningH7223, 10And since the timeH3117 that I commandedH6680 judgesH8199 to be over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. Moreover I will subdueH3665 all thine enemiesH341. Furthermore I tellH5046 thee that YhwhH3068 will buildH1129 thee an houseH1004.

11And it shall come to pass, when thy daysH3117 be expiredH4390 that thou must goH3212 to be with thy fathersH1, that I will raise upH6965 thy seedH2233 afterH310 thee, which shall be of thy sonsH1121; and I will establishH3559 his kingdomH4438. 12He shall buildH1129 me an houseH1004, and I will stablishH3559 his throneH3678 forH5704 everH5769. 13I will be his fatherH1, and he shall be my sonH1121: and I will not takeH5493 my mercyH2617 awayH5493 from him, as I tookH5493 it from him that was beforeH6440 thee: 14But I will settleH5975 him in mine houseH1004 and in my kingdomH4438 for everH5769: and his throneH3678 shall be establishedH3559 forH5704 evermoreH5769. 15According to all these wordsH1697, and according to all this visionH2377, so did NathanH5416 speakH1696 unto DavidH1732.
