@ Now it came to pass, as
David
sat
in his
house
, that
David
said
to
Nathan
the
prophet
, Lo, I
dwell
in an
house
of
cedars
, but the
ark
of the
covenant
of the
LORD
remaineth under

strkjv@1Chronicles:17:2
@ Then
Nathan
said
unto
David
,
Do
all that is in thine
heart

God
is with thee.
strkjv@1Chronicles:17:3
@ And it came to pass the same
night
, that the
word
of
God
came to
Nathan
,
saying
,
strkjv@1Chronicles:17:4
@
Go
and
tell
David
my
servant
, Thus
saith
the
LORD
, Thou shalt not
build
me an
house
to dwell
in
:
strkjv@1Chronicles:17:5
@ For I have not dwelt
in
an
house
since the
day
that I brought
up
Israel
unto this
day
; but have gone from
tent
to
tent
, and from one
tabernacle
to another.
strkjv@1Chronicles:17:6
@ Wheresoever I have
walked
with all
Israel
,
spake
I a
word
to
any
of the
judges
of
Israel
, whom I
commanded
to
feed
my
people
,
saying
, Why have ye not
built
me an
house
of
cedars
?
strkjv@1Chronicles:17:7
@ Now therefore thus shalt thou
say
unto my
servant
David
, Thus
saith
the
LORD
of
hosts
, I
took
thee from the
sheepcote
, even from
following
the
sheep
, that thou shouldest be
ruler
over my
people
Israel
:
strkjv@1Chronicles:17:8
@ And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast
walked
, and have cut
off
all thine
enemies
from
before
thee, and have
made
thee a
name
like the
name
of the great
men
that are in the
earth
.
strkjv@1Chronicles:17:9
@ Also I will
ordain
a
place
for my
people
Israel
, and will
plant
them, and they shall
dwell
in their place, and shall be
moved
no more; neither shall the
children
of
wickedness
waste
them any
more
, as at the
beginning
,
strkjv@1Chronicles:17:10
@ And since the
time
that I
commanded
judges
to be over my
people
Israel

subdue
all thine
enemies
. Furthermore I
tell
thee that the
LORD
will
build
thee an
house
.
strkjv@1Chronicles:17:11
@ And it shall come to pass, when thy
days
be
expired
that thou must
go
to be with thy

up
thy
seed
after
thee, which shall be of thy
sons
; and I will
establish
his
kingdom

away
from him, as I

it from him that was

@ According to all these
words

speak
unto
David

David
the
king
came

brought
me
hitherto

thing
in thine

come

regarded
me according to the
estate
of a
man
of high
degree

LORD

LORD

one
nation
in the
earth
is like thy
people
Israel
, whom
God
went
to
redeem
to be his own
people
, to
make
thee a
name
of
greatness
and
terribleness
, by driving
out
nations
from

thy
people

redeemed
out of
Egypt

didst thou
make
