King James 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 sat
in
his house,
and the LORD had given him rest round
about
from all his enemies ;
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 an
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 thine
heart ;
for the LORD is with thee
.
But
that night the word of the LORD came to
Nathan, saying,
And
it
came
to
pass
that night ,
that
the word of the LORD 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
the LORD ,
Shalt
thou
build me an
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
.
Whereas
I have not dwelt in any
house since
the time
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 the
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 feed
my people Israel, saying,
Why build
ye
not
me an
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
so
shalt
thou
say
unto
my servant David ,
Thus
saith
the LORD of hosts ,
I took thee
from the sheepcote
, from following the sheep
, to be ruler 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 was
with thee
whithersoever
thou
wentest
, and have cut off all thine
enemies out
of
thy
sight,
and
have
made
thee
a great
name ,
like unto
the name
of
the
great
men
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
Moreover
I will appoint
a place for my people Israel ,
and will plant them ,
that they may dwell in a place of their own ,
and move
no more ;
neither
shall
the children
of wickedness afflict
them any
more,
as beforetime,
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
since the time
that
I commanded
judges to
be
over my people Israel ,
and
have
caused
thee
to
rest from all thine
enemies. Also
the LORD telleth
thee
that he will make
thee
an
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.
And when thy
days be
fulfilled ,
and thou
shalt
sleep
with thy
fathers, I will set
up thy
seed
after thee
, which
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 an
house for my name, and I will stablish
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 mercy
shall
not
depart
away
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
thine
house and thy
kingdom shall
be
established
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 went
king David in, and
sat before the LORD, and he
said, Who am I, O Lord GOD ?
and what is my house, that thou
hast
brought me hitherto
?
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 thy
sight
, O Lord GOD ;
but
thou
hast
spoken also
of thy
servant's
house for
a
great
while
to
come
. And
is this the
manner
of
man, O Lord GOD?
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
, Lord GOD ,
knowest
thy
servant
.
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
done
all
these
great things,
to make
thy
servant know
them
.
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 LORD God :
for there is none like thee
, neither
is there
any
God beside
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 for
a people to
himself ,
and to make him
a name ,
and
to
do
for you great things
and terrible,
for
thy
land,
before thy
people, which
thou
redeemedst
to
thee
from 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.
For thou
hast
confirmed
to
thyself
thy
people Israel to
be
a
people
unto
thee
for
ever:
and thou
, LORD, art
become 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 LORD God, the word that
thou
hast
spoken concerning thy
servant ,
and concerning
his house ,
establish
it
for
ever,
and
do as thou
hast
said.
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,
The LORD of hosts is the
God over Israel :
and let
the house of thy
servant David 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 LORD of hosts, God of Israel, hast
revealed to thy
servant, saying,
I will build thee
an
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 GOD, thou
art
that
God ,
and
thy
words be
true, and thou
hast
promised this goodness 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
. ”
Therefore now
let
it please thee
to bless the house of thy
servant, that it may continue for
ever
before thee:
for thou
, O Lord GOD, hast
spoken it:
and with thy
blessing let
the house of thy
servant be blessed for
ever
.
