*
Now it came to pass ,
as David sat in his house ,
that David said to Nathan the prophet ,
Lo ,
I dwell in an house of cedars ,
but the ark of the covenant of the LORD remaineth under curtains .
*
Then Nathan said unto David ,
Do all that is in thine heart ;
for God is with thee .
*
And it came to pass the same night ,
that the word of God came to Nathan ,
saying ,
*
Go and tell David my servant ,
Thus saith the LORD ,
Thou shalt not build me an house to dwell in :
*
For I have not dwelt in an house since the day that I brought up Israel unto this day ;
but have gone from tent to tent ,
and from one tabernacle to another .
*
Wheresoever I have walked with all Israel ,
spake I a word to any of the judges of Israel ,
whom I commanded to feed my people ,
saying ,
Why have ye not built me an house of cedars ?
*
Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant David ,
Thus saith the LORD of hosts ,
I took thee from the sheepcote ,
even from following the sheep ,
that thou shouldest be ruler over my people Israel :
*
And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walked ,
and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee ,
and have made thee a name like the name of the great men that are in the earth .
*
Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel ,
and will plant them ,
and they shall dwell in their place ,
and shall be moved no more ;
neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more ,
as at the beginning ,
