mkjv@1Chronicles:17:6 @ Wherever I have walked with all Israel, did I speak a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed My people, saying, Why have you not built Me a house of cedars?

mkjv@1Chronicles:17:9 @ And I will set a place for My people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall live in their place and shall be moved no more; nor shall the sons of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning,

mkjv@1Chronicles:17:10 @ and since the time that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel. And I will subdue all your enemies. And I declare to you that the LORD will build you a house.

mkjv@1Chronicles:17:22 @ And You have chosen Your people Israel for Yourself, for a people forever. And You, LORD, became their God.

mkjv@1Chronicles:17:24 @ Let it even be established, so that Your name may be magnified forever, saying, The LORD of hosts [is] the God of Israel, a God to Israel. And [let] the house of David Your servant be established before You.
