Berean Standard Bible
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
the king dwelt
in
his house,
and Jehovah
had given him rest from all his enemies round
about
,
After
the king had
settled
into
his palace
and the
LORD
had given him rest from all his enemies around
him
,
that
the
king
said unto
Nathan the prophet, See
now,
I dwell
in a house of cedar, but
the ark of God dwelleth
within
curtains
.
he
said to
Nathan the prophet, “Here
I am,
living
in a house of cedar, while
the ark of God remains
in
a
tent
. ”
And Nathan said
to the king, Go ,
do all that is in thy
heart ;
for Jehovah
is with thee
.
And Nathan replied
to the king, “
Go and
do all that is in your
heart ,
for the
LORD
is with you
. ”
And
it
came
to
pass
the
same
night,
that the word of Jehovah
came unto
Nathan, saying,
But
that night
the word of the
LORD
came to
Nathan, saying,
Go and tell my servant David ,
Thus
saith
Jehovah,
Shalt
thou
build me a house for
me
to dwell in?
“
Go and tell My servant David that
this
is
what
the
LORD
says:
Are
you
the
one
to
build for
Me a house to dwell in?
for I have not dwelt in a house since
the day that
I brought up
the children
of
Israel
out of Egypt ,
even
to
this day, but have walked
in
a tent and
in
a
tabernacle
.
For I have not dwelt in a house from
the day I brought the Israelites
up
out of Egypt until
this day, but I
have moved
about
with
a tent as
My
dwelling
.
In all places
wherein
I
have
walked
with all the children
of
Israel
, spake
I a
word
with
any of the tribes
of
Israel,
whom
I commanded
to be
shepherd of
my people Israel, saying,
Why have
ye
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 Israel, ‘
Why haven’t
you
built Me a house of cedar? ’
Now therefore
thus
shalt
thou
say
unto
my servant David ,
Thus
saith
Jehovah
of hosts ,
I took thee
from the sheepcote
, from following the sheep
, that
thou
shouldest
be prince
over my people ,
over
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 thee
whithersoever
thou
wentest
, and have cut off all thine
enemies from before thee;
and
I will make thee
a great
name ,
like unto
the name
of
the
great
ones
that
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 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 afflict
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 cause
thee
to
rest from all thine
enemies. Moreover
Jehovah
telleth
thee
that Jehovah
will make
thee
a house.
and have
done
since
the day I appointed
judges over My people Israel .
I will give
you
rest from all your
enemies. The
LORD
declares
to
you
that He
Himself
will establish
a house for
you
.
When thy
days are fulfilled ,
and thou
shalt
sleep
with thy
fathers, I will set
up thy
seed
after thee
, that
shall
proceed
out
of
thy
bowels
, and I will establish his kingdom.
And
when your
days are fulfilled and you
rest
with your
fathers, I will raise
up your
descendant
after you
, who
will
come
from
your
own
body
, and I will establish his kingdom.
He shall
build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom for
ever
.
He will
build a house for My Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever
.
I will be his father, and he shall
be my son :
if
he commit
iniquity
, I will chasten
him with the rod of men ,
and with the stripes
of the children
of men ;
I will be his Father, and he will
be My son .
When
he does
wrong
, I will discipline
him with the rod of men and with the blows
of the sons
of men .
but my lovingkindness
shall
not
depart
from him ,
as I took
it from Saul, whom I put
away
before
thee
.
But My loving
devotion
will
never
be
removed
from him as I removed
it from Saul, whom I moved
out
of
your
way
.
And
thy
house and thy
kingdom shall
be
made
sure
for
ever
before thee:
thy
throne shall
be established for
ever
.
Your
house and kingdom will
endure
forever
before Me,
and
your
throne will
be established forever
. ”
According
to all these
words ,
and
according
to
all
this vision ,
so
did
Nathan
speak
unto
David
.
So
Nathan
relayed
to David
all the
words of
this entire
vision.
Then David
the
king went in, and
sat before Jehovah;
and he
said, Who am I, O Lord Jehovah
, and what is my house, that thou
hast
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?
And this was yet
a small thing in thine
eyes, O Lord Jehovah;
but
thou
hast
spoken
also of thy
servant's
house
for
a
great
while
to
come;
and
this
`too'
after
the manner
of men
, O Lord Jehovah!
And as
if
this was a small thing in Your
eyes, O Lord GOD,
You
have
also spoken
about
the
future
of the house
of Your
servant.
Is
this
Your
custom
with
man
, O Lord GOD?
And
what can David say more
unto
thee
? for thou
knowest
thy
servant, O Lord Jehovah
.
What more
can David say to
You
? For You
know
Your
servant, O Lord GOD
.
For thy
word's
sake ,
and according to thine
own heart, hast
thou
wrought
all
this greatness,
to make
thy
servant know
it
.
For the
sake of
Your
word
and according to Your
own heart, You
have
accomplished
this great
thing
and
revealed
it
to Your
servant.
Wherefore
thou
art
great, O Jehovah
God :
for there is none like thee
, neither
is
there any
God besides
thee
, according to all
that
we have heard with our ears.
How
great You
are
, O Lord
GOD !
For there is none like You
, and
there is
no
God but
You
, according to everything
we have heard with our own
ears.
And what
one
nation
in
the
earth
is like thy
people ,
even
like
Israel ,
whom God went to redeem unto
himself
for
a people ,
and to make him
a name ,
and
to
do
great
things
for you ,
and terrible
things
for
thy
land,
before
thy
people,
whom
thou
redeemest
to
thee
out of
Egypt,
`from'
the
nations and their gods ?
And who
is like Your
people Israel —the
one
nation
on
earth
whom God went out
to redeem as
a people for
Himself
and to make a name for Himself?
You performed
great
and awesome
wonders
by
driving
out nations and their gods from
before
Your
people,
whom
You
redeemed
for
Yourself
from
Egypt.
And
thou
didst
establish
to
thyself
thy
people Israel to
be
a
people
unto
thee
for
ever;
and thou
, Jehovah
, becamest
their God.
For
You
have
established
Your
people Israel as
Your
very
own
forever,
and You
, O
LORD
, have
become
their God.
And now, O Jehovah
God, the word that
thou
hast
spoken concerning thy
servant ,
and concerning
his house ,
confirm
thou
it
for
ever,
and
do as thou
hast
spoken.
And now, O LORD
God, confirm
forever
the word You
have
spoken concerning Your
servant and his house .
Do as You
have
promised,
And
let
thy
name be magnified for
ever,
saying
, Jehovah
of hosts is God over Israel ;
and the house of thy
servant David shall
be established before thee
.
so
that
Your
name will
be magnified forever
when
it
is
said
, ‘The
LORD
of Hosts is God over Israel .’
And the house of Your
servant David will
be established before You
.
For thou
, O Jehovah
of hosts, the God of Israel, hast
revealed to thy
servant ,
saying
, I will build thee
a house :
therefore hath
thy
servant found in
his
heart
to pray
this prayer unto
thee
.
For You
, O LORD
of Hosts, the God of Israel, have
revealed this
to Your
servant when
You
said
, ‘
I will build a house for
you.’
Therefore Your
servant has
found the
courage
to offer
this prayer to
You
.
And now, O Lord Jehovah,
thou
art
God, and
thy
words are truth
, and thou
hast
promised this good
thing
unto
thy
servant :
And now, O Lord GOD, You
are
God!
Your
words are true
, and You
have
promised this goodness
to
Your
servant .
now therefore let
it please thee
to bless the house of thy
servant, that it may continue for
ever
before thee;
for thou
, O Lord Jehovah
, hast
spoken it:
and with thy
blessing let
the house of thy
servant be blessed for
ever
.
Now therefore ,
may
it please You
to bless the house of Your
servant, that it may continue forever
before You.
For You
, O Lord GOD
, have
spoken ,
and with Your
blessing the house of Your
servant will
be blessed forever
. ”
