mkjv - 2Samuel:7:1-17

mkjv@2Samuel:7:1 @ And it happened when the king dwelt in his house, and when the LORD had given him rest round about from all his enemies,

mkjv@2Samuel:7:2 @ the king said to Nathan the prophet, See now, I live in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells within curtains.

mkjv@2Samuel:7:3 @ And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that [is] in your heart, for the LORD [is] with you.

mkjv@2Samuel:7:4 @ And that night the word of the LORD came to Nathan saying,

mkjv@2Samuel:7:5 @ Go and tell My servant David, So says the LORD, Shall you build Me a house for My dwelling?

mkjv@2Samuel:7:6 @ For I have not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up the sons out of Egypt until this day, but have walked in a tent, even in a tabernacle.

mkjv@2Samuel:7:7 @ In all [places] in which I have walked with all the sons of Israel, did I speak a word with any of the tribes of Israel, [those] I commanded to feed My people Israel, saying, Why do you not build Me a house of cedars?

mkjv@2Samuel:7:8 @ And now so shall you say to My servant David, So says the LORD of hosts: I took you from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over My people, over Israel.

mkjv@2Samuel:7:9 @ And I was with you wherever you went, and have cut off all your enemies out of your sight, and have made you a great name like the name of the great ones in the earth.

mkjv@2Samuel:7:10 @ And I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will plant them so that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more. Neither shall the sons of wickedness afflict them any more, as before.

mkjv@2Samuel:7:11 @ And even from the time that I commanded judges [to be] over My people of Israel, so will I cause you to rest from all your enemies. Also the LORD tells you that He will make you a house.

mkjv@2Samuel:7:12 @ And when your days [are] fulfilled, and you shall sleep with your fathers, I will set up your seed after you, who shall come out of your bowels. And I will make his kingdom sure.

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

mkjv@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 stripes of the sons of men.

mkjv@2Samuel:7:15 @ But My mercy shall not leave him, as I took [it] from Saul, whom I put away before you.

mkjv@2Samuel:7:16 @ And your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before you. Your throne [shall be] established forever.

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