2 Samuel 7:2-17

2That the kingH4428 saidH559 to 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 thy heartH3824; for the LORDH3068 is with thee.

4And it came to pass that nightH3915, that the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to NathanH5416, sayingH559, 5GoH3212 and tellH559 my servantH5650 DavidH1732, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Shalt thou buildH1129 me an houseH1004 for me to dwell inH3427?1 6Though I have not dweltH3427 in any houseH1004 since the timeH3117 that I broughtH5927 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 in which I have walkedH1980 with all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 have I spokenH1696 a wordH1697 with anyH259 of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, whom I commandedH6680 to feedH7462 my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, sayingH559, Why do ye not buildH1129 me an houseH1004 of cedarH730?2 8Now therefore so shalt thou sayH559 to my servantH5650 DavidH1732, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, I tookH3947 thee from the sheepfoldH5116, from followingH310 the sheepH6629, to be rulerH5057 over my peopleH5971, over IsraelH3478:3 9And I was with thee wherever thou wentestH1980, and have cut offH3772 all thy enemiesH341 out of thy sightH6440, and have madeH6213 thee a greatH1419 nameH8034, like the nameH8034 of the greatH1419 men that are in the earthH776.4 10Moreover I will appointH7760 a placeH4725 for my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and will plantH5193 them, that they may dwellH7931 in a place of their own, and moveH7264 no more; neither shall the childrenH1121 of wickednessH5766 afflictH6031 them any moreH3254, as in times pastH7223, 11And as since the timeH3117 that I commandedH6680 judgesH8199 to be over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and have caused thee to restH5117 from all thy enemiesH341. Also the LORDH3068 tellethH5046 thee that he will makeH6213 thee an houseH1004. 12And when thy daysH3117 shall be fulfilledH4390, and thou shalt sleepH7901 with thy fathersH1, I will set upH6965 thy seedH2233 afterH310 thee, who shall proceedH3318 out of thy own bodyH4578, and I will establishH3559 his kingdomH4467. 13He shall buildH1129 an houseH1004 for my nameH8034, and I will establishH3559 the throneH3678 of his kingdomH4467 forH5704 everH5769. 14I will be his fatherH1, and he shall be my sonH1121. If he shall commit iniquityH5753, I will chastenH3198 him with the rodH7626 of menH582, and with the stripesH5061 of the childrenH1121 of menH120: 15But my mercyH2617 shall not departH5493 from him, as I tookH5493 it from SaulH7586, whom I put awayH5493 beforeH6440 thee. 16And thy houseH1004 and thy kingdomH4467 shall be establishedH539 forH5704 everH5769 beforeH6440 thee: thy throneH3678 shall be establishedH3559 forH5704 everH5769. 17According to all these wordsH1697, and according to all this visionH2384, so did NathanH5416 speakH1696 to DavidH1732.
