1 Chronicles 17:1-10

1And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when DavidH1732 dweltH3427 in his houseH1004, that DavidH1732 saidH559 to NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, LoH2009, I dwellH3427 in an houseH1004 of cedar, but the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 dwelleth underH8478 curtainsH3407.

2And NathanH5416 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, DoH6213 allH3605 that is in thine heartH3824; for GodH430 is with thee.

3And it cameH1961 to passH1961 the sameH1931 nightH3915, that the wordH1697 of GodH430 cameH1961 to NathanH5416, sayingH559,

4Go and tellH559 DavidH1732 my servantH5650, ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, Thou shalt notH3808 buildH1129 meH413 an houseH1004 to dwellH3427 in:

5for I have notH3808 dweltH3427 in an houseH1004 sinceH3588 the dayH3117 that I broughtH5927 upH5927 IsraelH3478, unto this dayH3117; but have goneH5927 from tentH168 to tentH168, and from one tabernacleH4908 to anotherH2088.

6In allH3605 placesH1004 whereinH834 I have walkedH1980 with allH3605 IsraelH3478, spake I a wordH1697 with anyH3605 of the judgesH8199 of IsraelH3478, whomH834 I commandedH6680 to feedH7462 my peopleH5971, sayingH559, WhyH4100 have ye notH3808 builtH1129 meH1696 an houseH1004 of cedar?

7NowH6258 therefore thusH3541 shalt thou sayH559 unto my servantH5650 DavidH1732, ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, I tookH3947 thee from the sheepcote, from followingH310 the sheepH6629, that thou shouldest be princeH5057 over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478:

8and I have been with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cutH3772 offH3772 allH3605 thine enemiesH341 from beforeH6440 thee; and I will makeH6213 thee a nameH8034, like unto the nameH8034 of the greatH1419 onesH1419 that are in the earthH776.

9And I will appointH7760 a placeH4725 for my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and will plantH5193 them, that they may dwellH7931 in their own placeH4725, and be movedH7264 noH3808 moreH5750; neitherH3808 shall the childrenH1121 of wickednessH5766 wasteH1086 them anyH5750 moreH5750, as at the firstH7223,

10and as from the dayH3117 that I commandedH6680 judgesH8199 to be over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478; and I will subdueH3665 allH3605 thine enemiesH341. Moreover I tellH5046 thee that the LORDH3068 will buildH1129 thee an houseH1004.
