1Chronicles:17:1-15
mkjv@1Chronicles:17:1 @ And it happened as David sat in his house, David said to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in a house of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD [is] under curtains.
mkjv@1Chronicles:17:2 @ And Nathan said to David, Do all that [is] in your heart, for God [is] with you.
mkjv@1Chronicles:17:3 @ And it happened the same night the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
mkjv@1Chronicles:17:4 @ Go and tell David My servant, So says the LORD, You shall not build Me a house to dwell in.
mkjv@1Chronicles:17:5 @ For I have not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up Israel until today, but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle [to another.]
mkjv@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 you not built Me a house of cedars?
mkjv@1Chronicles:17:7 @ And now you shall say this to My servant David, So says the LORD of hosts, I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, so that you should be ruler over My people Israel.
mkjv@1Chronicles:17:8 @ And I have been with you wherever you have walked, and have cut off all your enemies from before you, and have made you a name like the name of the great men in the earth.
mkjv@1Chronicles:17:9 @ And I will set a place for My people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall live in their place and shall be moved no more; nor shall the sons of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning,
mkjv@1Chronicles:17:10 @ and since the time that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel. And I will subdue all your enemies. And I declare to you that the LORD will build you a house.
mkjv@1Chronicles:17:11 @ And it will be, when your days have ended so that you must go [to be] with your fathers, I will raise up your seed after you, who shall be from your sons. And I will make his kingdom sure.
mkjv@1Chronicles:17:12 @ He shall build Me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.
mkjv@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 who was before you.
mkjv@1Chronicles:17:14 @ And I will settle him in My house, and in My kingdom forever. And his throne shall be established forever.
mkjv@1Chronicles:17:15 @ According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.
