1Chronicles:17:1-15
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And it came to pass ,
when David had taken up his abode in his house ,
that David said unto Nathan the prophet ,
Lo !
I ,
am dwelling in a house of cedars ,
but ,
the ark of the covenant of Yahweh ,
is under curtains .
*
Then said Nathan unto David ,
All that is in thy heart ,
do ,
for ,
God ,
is with thee .
*
But so it was that ,
in that night ,
the word of God came unto Nathan ,
saying :
*
Go and say unto David my servant ,
Thus ,
saith Yahweh ,
Thou ,
shalt not build me a house ,
to dwell in ;
*
seeing that I have not dwelt in a house ,
since the day that I brought up Israel ,
until this day ,
but have been from tent to tent ,
and without a habitation .
*
Wheresoever I have wandered with all Israel ,
spake I ever ,
a word ,
with one of the judges of Israel ,
whom I charged to shepherd my people ,
saying ,
Wherefore have ye not built me a house of cedars ?
*
Now ,
therefore ,
thus ,
shalt thou say unto my servant David ,
Thus ,
saith Yahweh of hosts ,
I myself ,
took thee from the pasture ,
from after the flock ,
to become leader over my people Israel ;
*
and was with thee whithersoever thou didst go ,
and have out off all thine enemies ,
from before thee ,
and will make thee a name ,
like the name of the great ones ,
who are in the earth ;
*
and will appoint a place for my people Israel ,
and will plant them ,
and they shall inhabit their place ,
and be unsettled no more ,
neither shall the sons of perversity again wear them out ,
as at the first ;
*
even from the days when I put judges in charge over my people Israel ,
and have subdued all thine enemies ,
that I might make thee great ,
yea ,
a house ,
will Yahweh build for thee .
*
And it shall be that ,
when thy days are fulfilled ,
to sleep with thy fathers ,
then will I raise up thy seed after thee ,
who shall be of thy sons ,
and I will establish his kingdom .
*
He ,
shall build me a house ,
and I will establish his throne unto times age-abiding .
*
I ,
will become his father ,
and ,
he ,
shall become my son ,
and ,
my lovingkindness ,
will I not cause to depart from him ,
as I caused it to depart from him who was before thee ;
*
but I will cause him to remain over my house and over my kingdom ,
unto times age-abiding ,
and ,
his throne ,
shall be established ,
unto times age-abiding .
*
According to all these words ,
and according to all this vision ,
so ,
spake Nathan unto David .
