nkjv@2Samuel:7:1 @ Now it came to pass when the king was dwelling in his house, and the LORD had given him rest from all his enemies all around,

nkjv@2Samuel:7:2 @ that the king said to Nathan the prophet, "See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells inside tent curtains."

nkjv@2Samuel:7:3 @ Then Nathan said to the king, "Go, do all that is in your heart, for the LORD is with you."

nkjv@2Samuel:7:4 @ But it happened that night that the word of the LORD came to Nathan, saying,

nkjv@2Samuel:7:5 @ "Go and tell My servant David, "Thus says the LORD: "Would you build a house for Me to dwell in?

nkjv@2Samuel:7:6 @ For I have not dwelt in a house since the time that I brought the children of Israel up from Egypt, even to this day, but have moved about in a tent and in a tabernacle.

nkjv@2Samuel:7:7 @ Wherever I have moved about with all the children of Israel, have I ever spoken a word to anyone from the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd My people Israel, saying, "Why have you not built Me a house of cedar?""

nkjv@2Samuel:7:8 @ Now therefore, thus shall you say to My servant David, "Thus says the LORD of hosts: "I took you from the sheepfold, from following the sheep, to be ruler over My people, over Israel.

nkjv@2Samuel:7:9 @ And I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you, and have made you a great name, like the name of the great men who are on the earth.

nkjv@2Samuel:7:10 @ 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; nor shall the sons of wickedness oppress them anymore, as previously,

nkjv@2Samuel:7:11 @ since the time that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel, and have caused you to rest from all your enemies. Also the LORD tells you that He will make you a house.

nkjv@2Samuel:7:12 @ "When your days are fulfilled and you rest with your fathers, I will set up your seed after you, who will come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom.

nkjv@2Samuel:7:13 @ He shall build a house for My name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

nkjv@2Samuel:7:14 @ I will be his Father, and he shall be My son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men and with the blows of the sons of men.

nkjv@2Samuel:7:15 @ But My mercy shall not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I removed from before you.

nkjv@2Samuel:7:16 @ And your house and your kingdom shall be established forever before you. Your throne shall be established forever.""'

nkjv@2Samuel:7:17 @ According to all these words and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.

nkjv@2Samuel:7:18 @ Then King David went in and sat before the LORD; and he said: "Who am I, O Lord GOD? And what is my house, that You have brought me this far?

nkjv@2Samuel:7:19 @ And yet this was a small thing in Your sight, O Lord GOD; and You have also spoken of Your servant's house for a great while to come. Is this the manner of man, O Lord GOD?

nkjv@2Samuel:7:20 @ Now what more can David say to You? For You, Lord GOD, know Your servant.

nkjv@2Samuel:7:21 @ For Your word's sake, and according to Your own heart, You have done all these great things, to make Your servant know them.

nkjv@2Samuel:7:22 @ Therefore You are great, O Lord GOD. For there is none like You, nor is there any God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

nkjv@2Samuel:7:23 @ And who is like Your people, like Israel, the one nation on the earth whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people, to make for Himself a name--and to do for Yourself great and awesome deeds for Your land--before Your people whom You redeemed for Yourself from Egypt, the nations, and their gods?

nkjv@2Samuel:7:24 @ For You have made Your people Israel Your very own people forever; and You, LORD, have become their God.

nkjv@2Samuel:7:25 @ "Now, O LORD God, the word which You have spoken concerning Your servant and concerning his house, establish it forever and do as You have said.

nkjv@2Samuel:7:26 @ So let Your name be magnified forever, saying, "The LORD of hosts is the God over Israel.' And let the house of Your servant David be established before You.

nkjv@2Samuel:7:27 @ For You, O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, have revealed this to Your servant, saying, "I will build you a house.' Therefore Your servant has found it in his heart to pray this prayer to You.

nkjv@2Samuel:7:28 @ "And now, O Lord GOD, You are God, and Your words are true, and You have promised this goodness to Your servant.

nkjv@2Samuel:7:29 @ Now therefore, let it please You to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue before You forever; for You, O Lord GOD, have spoken it, and with Your blessing let the house of Your servant be blessed forever."
