Berean Standard Bible
It
happened,
when
David lived
in
his house
, that
David
said to Nathan the prophet, Behold,
I dwell
in a house of cedar, but
the ark of the covenant of Yahweh
[dwells]
under curtains
.
After
David had
settled
into
his palace
, he
said to Nathan the prophet, “Here
I am,
living
in a house of cedar, while
the ark of the covenant of the
LORD
is
under a
tent
. ”
Nathan said
to David, Do all that is in your heart ;
for God is with you.
And
Nathan replied
to David, “
Do all that is in your heart ,
for God is with you. ”
It
happened
the
same
night,
that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
But
that night
the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
Go and tell David
my servant ,
Thus
says Yahweh,
You shall
not build me a house to dwell in:
“
Go and tell My servant David
that
this
is
what
the
LORD
says :
You are
not the
one
to
build Me a house in
which
to dwell .
for I have not lived
in a house since
the day that
I brought up
Israel ,
to
this day, but have gone
from tent to tent ,
and from
[one]
tent
[
to another]
.
For I have not dwelt
in a house from
the day I brought Israel up
out
of
Egypt
until
this day, but I
have moved
from tent to tent and dwelling
to dwelling
.
In all places
in
which
I
have
walked
with all Israel
, spoke
I a
word
with
any of the judges
of
Israel,
whom
I commanded
to be
shepherd of
my people, saying,
Why have
you not
built me a house of cedar?
In all My
journeys
with all the
Israelites
, have
I ever
asked
any of the leaders
I appointed
to shepherd My people, ‘
Why haven’t
you built Me a house of cedar? ’
Now therefore
thus
shall
you tell my servant David ,
Thus
says
Yahweh
of Hosts ,
I took you from the sheep
pen
, from following the sheep
, that
you
should
be prince
over my people Israel :
Now then,
you are
to
tell My servant David that
this
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts says:
I took you from the pasture
, from following the flock
, to
be the
ruler
over My people Israel .
and
I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you ;
and
I will make you a name ,
like the name
of
the
great
ones
who
are
in the earth
.
I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I
have cut off all your enemies from before you .
Now
I will make for
you a name like the greatest
in the land
.
I will appoint
a place for my people Israel ,
and will plant them ,
that they may dwell in their own place,
and be moved
no more ;
neither
shall
the children
of wickedness waste
them any
more,
as at the first,
And
I will provide
a place for My people Israel and will plant them so
that they may dwell in a
place
of
their own and be disturbed
no more .
No
longer
will
the sons
of wickedness oppress
them as they
did
at the beginning
and [as]
from
the day that
I commanded
judges to
be
over my people Israel ;
and I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover I tell
you that Yahweh
will build you
a house.
and have
done
since
the day I appointed
judges over My people Israel .
And I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover ,
I declare
to
you that the
LORD
will build a house for
you
.
It
shall
happen,
when your days are fulfilled that
you must
go to be with your fathers, that
I will set
up your seed
after you, who
shall
be
of your sons ;
and I will establish his kingdom.
And
when your days are fulfilled and
you go to be with your fathers, I will raise
up your descendant
after you, one
of your own
sons ,
and I will establish his kingdom.
He shall
build me
a house, and I will establish his throne forever.
He will
build a house for
Me
, and I will establish his throne forever.
I will be his father, and he shall
be my son :
and I will not
take
my loving kindness
away
from him ,
as I took
it from him
that
was
before
you;
I will be his Father, and he will
be My son .
And I will never
remove
My loving devotion
from him as I removed
it from your
predecessor.
but I will settle
him in
my house and in
my kingdom forever ;
and his throne shall
be established forever.
But I will set
him over
My house and My kingdom forever ,
and his throne will
be established forever. ”
According
to all these
words ,
and
according
to
all
this vision ,
so
did
Nathan
speak
to
David
.
So
Nathan
relayed
to David
all the
words of
this entire
vision.
Then David
the
king went in, and
sat before Yahweh;
and he
said, Who am I, Yahweh
God, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus
far?
Then King David
went in, sat before the
LORD,
and said, “
Who am I, O
LORD
God, and what is my house, that You have brought me this
far?
This was a small thing in your eyes, God ;
but
you have spoken of your
servant's
house for
a
great
while
to
come,
and have regarded me according
to
the
estate
of
a man of high
degree
, Yahweh
God.
And
as
if
this was a small thing in Your eyes, O
God ,
You have spoken about
the
future
of the
house of
Your
servant
and have regarded me as
a man of great
distinction
, O
LORD
God.
What can David [
say ]
yet
more
to you concerning
the
honor
which
is
done
to
your servant? for you know your servant .
What more
can David say to You for
so
honoring
Your servant? For You know Your servant ,
Yahweh,
for your
servant's
sake ,
and according to your own heart, have
you worked
all
this greatness,
to
make
known
all
[these]
great things
.
O
LORD.
For the
sake of
Your
servant
and according to Your own heart, You have
accomplished
this great thing
and
revealed
all
Your
greatness
.
Yahweh
, there is none like you, neither
is
there any
God besides
you, according to all
that
we have heard with our ears.
O
LORD
, there is none like You, and
there is
no
God but
You, according to everything
we have heard with our own
ears.
What
one
nation
in
the
earth
is like your people Israel ,
whom God went to redeem to
himself
for
a people ,
to
make
you a name by
great and awesome things,
in
driving out nations from before your people, whom you redeem
out
of
Egypt ?
And
who
is like Your people Israel —the
one
nation
on
earth
whom God went out
to redeem as
a people for
Himself?
You made
a name for
Yourself
through
great and awesome wonders
by
driving out nations from before Your people, whom You redeemed
from
Egypt .
For your people Israel did
you
make
your own people
forever ;
and you, Yahweh
, became
their God.
For You
have
made
Your people Israel Your very
own forever ,
and You, O
LORD
, have
become
their God.
Now, Yahweh
, let the word that
you have spoken concerning your servant ,
and concerning
his house ,
be established forever ,
and
do as you have spoken.
And
now, O
LORD
, let the word You have spoken concerning Your servant and his house be established forever .
Do as You have promised,
Let
your name be established and magnified forever ,
saying
, Yahweh
of Hosts is
the God of Israel, even
a
God to
Israel :
and the house of David
your servant is
established before you.
so
that
Your name will
be established and magnified forever when
it
is
said
, ‘The
LORD
of Hosts ,
the God of Israel, is
God over
Israel .’
And may
the house of Your servant David
be
established before You.
For you, my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build him
a house :
therefore has
your servant found [in
his
heart]
to pray before you.
For You, my God, have revealed to Your servant that You will build a house for
him.
Therefore Your servant has
found the
courage
to pray before You.
Now, Yahweh
, you are God ,
and have promised this good
thing
to your servant :
And
now, O
LORD
, You are God !
And You
have promised this goodness
to Your servant .
and
now it
has
pleased
you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you :
for you, Yahweh
, have blessed, and it is
blessed forever.
So
now You have
been
pleased
to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue forever before You .
For You, O
LORD
, have blessed it
, and it will
be
blessed forever. ”
