bes@1Chronicles:17:1 @ And it came to pass as David dwelt in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Behold, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of the Lord is under curtains of skins.

bes@1Chronicles:17:2 @ And Nathan said to David, Do all that is in thy heart; for God is with thee.

bes@1Chronicles:17:3 @ And it came to pass in that night, that the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying,

bes@1Chronicles:17:4 @ Go and say to David my servant, Thus said the Lord, Thou shalt not build me a house for me to dwell in it.

bes@1Chronicles:17:5 @ For I have not dwelt in a house from the day that I brought up Israel until this day, but I have been in a tabernacle and a (note:)Gr. covering(:note) tent,

bes@1Chronicles:17:6 @ in all places through which I have gone with all Israel: did I ever speak to any one tribe of Israel whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why is it that ye have not built me a house of cedar?

bes@1Chronicles:17:7 @ And now thus shalt thou say to my servant David, Thus saith the Lord Almighty, I took thee from the sheepfold, (note:)Gr. from behind(:note) from following the flocks, to be a ruler over my people Israel:

bes@1Chronicles:17:8 @ and I was with thee in all places whither thou wentest, and I destroyed all thine enemies from before thee, and I made for thee a name according to the name of the great ones that are upon the earth.

bes@1Chronicles:17:9 @ And I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and I will plant him, and he shall dwell by himself, and (note:)Gr. shall not add to humble him(:note) shall no longer be anxious; and the son of iniquity shall no longer afflict him, as at the beginning,
