* "
Go and tell my servant David , `
Thus says the LORD :
You shall not build me a house to dwell in .
*
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 .
*
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 ?"'
*
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 ;
*
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 .
*
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 ,
*
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 .
