American Standard Version
After
the king had
settled
into
his palace
and the
LORD
had given him rest from all his enemies around
him
,
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
the king dwelt
in
his house,
and Jehovah
had given him rest from all his enemies round
about
,
he
said to
Nathan the prophet, “Here
I
am
, living
in a house of cedar, while
the ark of God remains
in
a
tent
. ”
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
.
And Nathan replied
to the king, “
Go and
do all that is in your
heart ,
for the
LORD
is with you
. ”
And Nathan said
to the king, Go ,
do all that is in thy
heart ;
for Jehovah
is with thee
.
But
that
night the word of the
LORD
came to
Nathan, saying,
And
it
came
to
pass
the
same
night ,
that
the word of Jehovah
came unto
Nathan, saying,
“
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?
Go and tell my servant David ,
Thus
saith
Jehovah,
Shalt
thou
build me a house for
me
to dwell in?
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
.
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
.
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? ’
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?
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 .
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 ;
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 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
.
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 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 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
.
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
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.
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.
He will
build a house for My Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever
.
He shall
build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom for
ever
.
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 .
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 ;
But My loving
devotion
will
never
be
removed
from him as I removed
it from Saul, whom I moved
out
of
your
way
.
but my lovingkindness
shall
not
depart
from him ,
as I took
it from Saul, whom I put
away
before
thee
.
Your
house and kingdom will
endure
forever
before Me,
and
your
throne will
be established forever
. ”
And
thy
house and thy
kingdom shall
be
made
sure
for
ever
before thee:
thy
throne shall
be established for
ever
.
So
Nathan
relayed
to David
all the
words of
this entire
vision.
According
to all these
words ,
and
according
to
all
this vision ,
so
did
Nathan
speak
unto
David
.
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?
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?
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 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!
What more
can David say to
You
? For You
know
Your
servant, O Lord GOD
.
And
what can David say more
unto
thee
? for thou
knowest
thy
servant, O Lord Jehovah
.
For the
sake of
Your
word
and according to Your
own heart, You
have
accomplished
this great
thing
and
revealed
it
to Your
servant.
For thy
word's
sake ,
and according to thine
own heart, hast
thou
wrought
all
this greatness,
to make
thy
servant know
it
.
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.
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.
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 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?
For
You
have
established
Your
people Israel as
Your
very
own
forever,
and You
, O
LORD
, have
become
their God.
And
thou
didst
establish
to
thyself
thy
people Israel to
be
a
people
unto
thee
for
ever;
and thou
, Jehovah
, becamest
their God.
And now, O LORD
God, confirm
forever
the word You
have
spoken concerning Your
servant and his house .
Do as You
have
promised,
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.
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
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
And now, O Lord GOD
, You
are
God !
Your
words are true
, and You
have
promised this goodness
to
Your
servant .
And now, O Lord Jehovah
, thou
art
God ,
and
thy
words are truth
, and thou
hast
promised this good
thing
unto
thy
servant :
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
. ”
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
.
