2That the kingH4428 saidH559 unto NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, SeeH7200 now, I dwellH3427 in an houseH1004 of cedarH730, but the arkH727 of GodH430 dwellethH3427 withinH8432 curtainsH3407. 3And NathanH5416 saidH559 to the kingH4428, GoH3212, doH6213 all that is in thine heartH3824; for YhwhH3068 is with thee.

4And it came to pass that nightH3915, that the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068 came unto NathanH5416, sayingH559, 5GoH3212 and tellH559 my servantH5650 DavidH1732, Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068, Shalt thou buildH1129 me an houseH1004 for me to dwell inH3427?1 6Whereas I have not dweltH3427 in any houseH1004 since the timeH3117 that I brought upH5927 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 out of EgyptH4714, even to this dayH3117, but have walkedH1980 in a tentH168 and in a tabernacleH4908. 7In all the places wherein I have walkedH1980 with all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 spakeH1696 I a wordH1697 with anyH259 of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, whom I commandedH6680 to feedH7462 my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, sayingH559, Why buildH1129 ye not me an houseH1004 of cedarH730?2
