1Chronicles:17:1-15
rsv@1Chronicles:17:1 @ Now when David dwelt in his house, 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 a tent."
rsv@1Chronicles:17:2 @ And Nathan said to David, "Do all that is in your heart, for God is with you."
rsv@1Chronicles:17:3 @ But that same night the word of the LORD came to Nathan,
rsv@1Chronicles:17:4 @ "Go and tell my servant David, `Thus says the LORD: You shall not build me a house to dwell in.
rsv@1Chronicles:17:5 @ For I have not dwelt in a house since the day I led up Israel to this day, but I have gone from tent to tent and from dwelling to dwelling.
rsv@1Chronicles:17:6 @ In all places where I have moved with all Israel, did I speak a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd my people, saying, "Why have you not built me a house of cedar?"'
rsv@1Chronicles:17:7 @ Now therefore thus shall you say to my servant David, `Thus says the LORD of hosts, I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, that you should be prince over my people Israel;
rsv@1Chronicles:17:8 @ and I have been with you wherever you went, and have cut off all your enemies from before you; and I will make for you a name, like the name of the great ones of the earth.
rsv@1Chronicles:17:9 @ And I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be disturbed no more; and violent men shall waste them no more, as formerly,
rsv@1Chronicles:17:10 @ from the time that I appointed judges over my people Israel; and I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover I declare to you that the LORD will build you a house.
rsv@1Chronicles:17:11 @ When your days are fulfilled to go to be with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, one of your own sons, and I will establish his kingdom.
rsv@1Chronicles:17:12 @ He shall build a house for me, and I will establish his throne for ever.
rsv@1Chronicles:17:13 @ I will be his father, and he shall be my son; I will not take my steadfast love from him, as I took it from him who was before you,
rsv@1Chronicles:17:14 @ but I will confirm him in my house and in my kingdom for ever and his throne shall be established for ever.'"
rsv@1Chronicles:17:15 @ In accordance with all these words, and in accordance with all this vision, Nathan spoke to David.
