*
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 .
*
And Nathan said to David ,
Do all that is in thy heart ;
for God is with thee .
*
And it came to pass in that night ,
that the word of the Lord came to Nathan ,
saying ,
*
Go and say to David my servant ,
Thus said the Lord ,
Thou shalt not build me a house for me to dwell in it .
*
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 (

tent ,
*
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 ?
*
And now thus shalt thou say to my servant David ,
Thus saith the Lord Almighty ,
I took thee from the sheepfold , (

from behind (:

from following the flocks ,
to be a ruler over my people Israel :
*
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 .
*
And I will appoint a place for my people Israel ,
and I will plant him ,
and he shall dwell by himself ,
and (

shall not add to humble him (:

shall no longer be anxious ;
and the son of iniquity shall no longer afflict him ,
as at the beginning ,
*
and from the days when I appointed judges over my people Israel .
Also I have humbled all thine enemies ,
and I will increase thee ,
and the Lord will build thee a house .
*
And it shall come to pass when thy days shall be fulfilled ,
and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers ,
that I will raise up thy seed after thee ,
which shall be of thy (

bowels ,
and I will Gr .
prepare establish his kingdom .
*
He shall build me a house ,
and I will set up his throne for ever .
*
I will be to him a father ,
and he shall be to me a son :
and my mercy will I not withdraw from him ,
as I withdrew it from them that were before thee .
*
And I will establish him in my house and in his kingdom for ever ;
and his throne shall be set up for ever .
*
According to all these words ,
and according to all this vision ,
so spoke Nathan to David .
