Berean Standard Bible
And
it
cometh
to
pass
as
David sat
in
his house
, that
David
saith
unto
Nathan the prophet, `Lo,
I am dwelling
in a house of cedars
, and
the ark of the covenant of Jehovah
`
is '
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.”
and Nathan saith
unto
David, `
All that `
is '
in thy
heart do
, for God `
is '
with thee
. '
And Nathan replied
to
David, “Do
all that is in your
heart, for God is with you
. ”
And
it
cometh
to
pass
on
that night that
a
word of God is
unto
Nathan, saying,
But
that night the
word of God came
to
Nathan, saying,
`
Go ,
and thou
hast
said
unto
David
My servant ,
Thus
said
Jehovah,
Thou
dost
not build for
Me the
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 dwelt in a house from the day that
I brought up
Israel till
this day, and
I am
from tent unto
tent :
and from
the
tabernacle,
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.
whithersoever
I
have
walked
up
and
down
among
all Israel
, a
word
spake
I ,
with
one
of the judges
of
Israel,
whom
I commanded
to feed
My people, saying,
Why have
ye
not
built for
Me a house of cedars
?
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
? ’
`And
now, thus
dost
thou
say
to My servant ,
to
David ,
Thus
said
Jehovah
of Hosts ,
I have
taken
thee
from the habitation
, from after
the sheep
, to be leader
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 am
with thee
whithersoever
thou
hast
walked
, and I cut off all thine
enemies from thy
presence,
and
have
made
for thee
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
.
`
And I have
prepared
a place for My people Israel ,
and planted
it,
and
it
hath
dwelt
in its
place ,
and is
not
troubled
any
more ,
and
the sons of perverseness
add
not
to
wear
it
out
as at 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
yea,
even
from
the days
that
I appointed judges over My people Israel. `
And I have
humbled
all thine
enemies, and
I declare to thee
that a house doth
Jehovah
build
for thee,
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.
and it
hath
come
to
pass,
when thy
days have
been
fulfilled to
go with thy
fathers, that
I have
raised
up thy
seed
after thee
, who
is
of thy
sons, and I have
established
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 doth
build for
Me
a house, and I have
established
his throne unto
the
age;
He will
build a house for
Me
, and I will
establish
his throne forever.
I am
to
him
for
a
father, and he is
to
Me
for
a
son ,
and My
kindness
I turn
not
aside
from him as I turned
it aside
from him
who
was
before
thee,
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.
and
I have
established
him in
My house ,
and in
My kingdom unto
the
age
, and his throne is
established unto
the
age
. '
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
spake
Nathan
unto
David
.
So
Nathan
relayed
to David
all the
words of
this entire
vision.
And
David
the
king cometh
in and
sitteth
before Jehovah
, and saith
, `
Who `
am '
I, O Jehovah
God, and what my house, that Thou
hast
brought me hitherto
?
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
?
And this is
small in Thine
eyes, O God, and
Thou
speakest
concerning
the house of thy
servant afar
off,
and hast
seen
me as a type
of
the
man who
is
on
high
, O Jehovah
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 doth
David
add
more unto
Thee
for the
honour
of
Thy
servant ;
and
Thou
Thy
servant hast
known.
What more can
David
say
to
You
for so
honoring
Your
servant ?
For
You
know
Your
servant ,
O Jehovah,
for Thy
servant's
sake ,
and according to Thine
own heart Thou
hast
done
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
.
O Jehovah
, there is none like Thee
, and there is no god save
Thee
, 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.
`
And who `
is '
as
Thy
people Israel ,
one nation in
the
earth whom God hath
gone
to
ransom
to Him
for
a people ,
to
make
for Thee
a name great and fearful,
to
cast
out from the
presence
of
Thy
people whom Thou
hast
ransomed
out
of
Egypt --
nations?
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 .
Yea,
Thou
dost
appoint
Thy
people
Israel
to
Thee
for a
people unto
the
age
, and Thou
, O Jehovah
, hast
been
to
them
for
God.
For You
have
made
Your
people Israel
Your
very
own
forever
, and You
, O LORD
, have
become
their
God.
`
And now, O Jehovah
, the word that
Thou
hast
spoken concerning Thy
servant ,
and concerning
his house ,
let
be stedfast
unto
the
age,
and
do as Thou
hast
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,
and
let
it
be stedfast,
and Thy
name
is great
unto
the
age,
saying
, Jehovah
of Hosts, God of Israel, is God to
Israel ,
and the house of Thy
servant David is
established before Thee;
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 Thou
, O
my God, Thou
hast
uncovered
the
ear
of
Thy
servant
--
to build to
him
a house ,
therefore hath
Thy
servant found to pray before Thee
.
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
.
`
And now, Jehovah
, Thou
`art'
God Himself,
and Thou
speakest
concerning
Thy
servant
this goodness ;
And now, O
LORD
, You
are
God !
And You
have
promised
this goodness to
Your
servant.
and
now ,
Thou
hast
been pleased to bless the house of Thy
servant, to
be
to
the
age
before Thee;
for Thou
, O Jehovah
, hast
blessed, and it is
blessed to
the
age
. '
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
. ”
