jub@1Chronicles:17:1 @ Now it came to pass, as David dwelt in his house, that David said to Nathan, the prophet, Behold, I dwell in a house of cedars, and the ark of the covenant of the LORD under curtains.

jub@1Chronicles:17:2 @ Then Nathan said unto David, Do all that [is] in thy heart for God [is] with thee.

jub@1Chronicles:17:3 @ And it came to pass the same night that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,

jub@1Chronicles:17:4 @ Go and tell David my servant, Thus hath the LORD said, Thou shalt not build me a house to dwell in,

jub@1Chronicles:17:5 @ for I have not dwelt in a 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].

jub@1Chronicles:17:6 @ Wherever I have walked with all Israel, did I speak a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have ye not built me a house of cedars?

jub@1Chronicles:17:7 @ Now, therefore, thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus hath the LORD of the hosts said, I took thee from the sheepfold, from following the sheep that thou should be ruler over my people Israel;

jub@1Chronicles:17:8 @ and I have been with thee wherever thou hast walked and have cut off all thy enemies from before thee and have made thee a name like the name of the great men that [are] in the earth.

jub@1Chronicles:17:9 @ Likewise I have ordained a place for my people Israel and have planted him that he dwell by himself and no longer be moved; neither shall the sons of iniquity waste them any more, as before,

jub@1Chronicles:17:10 @ since the time that I commanded judges [to be] over my people Israel. I have humbled all thy enemies and announce unto thee that the LORD will build thee a house.

jub@1Chronicles:17:11 @ And it shall come to pass, when thy days are fulfilled to go to be with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom.

jub@1Chronicles:17:12 @ He shall build me a house, and I will establish his throne eternally.

jub@1Chronicles:17:13 @ I will be his father, and he shall be my son; and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took [it] from [him] that was before thee;

jub@1Chronicles:17:14 @ but I will confirm him in my house and in my kingdom for ever, and his throne shall be established for evermore.

jub@1Chronicles:17:15 @ According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.

jub@1Chronicles:17:16 @ And David, the king, came and sat before the LORD and said, Who [am] I, O LORD God, and what [is] my house, that thou hast brought me here?

jub@1Chronicles:17:17 @ And [yet] this was a small thing in thy eyes, O God, for thou hast [also] spoken of thy servant's house for a great while to come and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O LORD God.

jub@1Chronicles:17:18 @ What more can David add asking thee to glorify thy servant? For thou knowest thy servant.

jub@1Chronicles:17:19 @ O LORD, for thy servant's sake and according to thy own heart, thou hast done all this greatness, in making known all thy great things.

jub@1Chronicles:17:20 @ O LORD, [there is] none like thee, neither [is there any] God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

jub@1Chronicles:17:21 @ And what one nation in the earth [is] like thy people Israel, whom God went to ransom [to be] his own people, to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out the Gentiles from before thy people, whom thou didst redeem out of Egypt?

jub@1Chronicles:17:22 @ For thy people Israel didst thou make thy own people for ever, and thou, LORD, didst become their God.

jub@1Chronicles:17:23 @ Therefore, now, LORD, let the thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be established for ever and do as thou hast said.

jub@1Chronicles:17:24 @ Let it even be established, that thy name may be magnified for ever, that it may be said, The LORD of the hosts, God of Israel, is God unto Israel; and [let] the house of David thy servant [be] established before thee.

jub@1Chronicles:17:25 @ For thou, O my God, hast told thy servant that thou wilt build him a house; therefore, thy servant has found [in his heart] to pray before thee.

jub@1Chronicles:17:26 @ And now, LORD, thou art God and hast promised this goodness unto thy servant;

jub@1Chronicles:17:27 @ now it has pleased thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever; for thou, O LORD, hast blessed it, and [it shall be] blessed for ever.:
