*
And it happened ,
when the king lived in his house ,
and Jehovah had given him rest from all his enemies all around ,
*
The king said to Nathan the prophet ,
See ,
now ,
I am living in a house of cedar ,
and the ark of God dwells within tent curtains .
*
And Nathan said to the king ,
All that is in your heart ,
go ,
do .
For Jehovah shall be with you .
*
And it happened in that night ,
the word of Jehovah came to Nathan ,
saying ,
*
Go ,
and you shall say to My servant ,
to David ,
So says Jehovah ,
Will you build a house for Me ,
for My dwelling ?
*
For I have not dwelt in a house even from the day of My bringing the sons of Israel out of Egypt ,
even to this day ;
but I have been moving about in a tent ,
even in a tabernacle .
*
In all places in which I have gone with all Israel '
s sons ,
have I spoken a word with one of the tribes of Israel ,
those I commanded to shepherd My people Israel ,
saying ,
Why have you not built for me a house of cedars ?
*
And now ,
so you shall say to My servant ,
to David ,
So says Jehovah of hosts ,
I have taken you from the resting place ,
from following the flock ,
to be ruler over My people ,
over Israel .
*
And I have been with you wherever you went ,
and have cut off all your enemies from before you and have made you a great name ,
like the name of the great men who are on the earth .
*
And I will designate a place for My people Israel ,
and will plant them ,
that they may dwell in their own place and not be made to tremble any more .
Nor shall the sons of evil afflict them again ,
as at the first ,
*
even from the day I commanded judges to be over My people Israel .
And I will cause you to rest from all your enemies .
And Jehovah declares to you that Jehovah will make you a house .
*
When your days are fulfilled ,
and you lie with your fathers ,
then I shall raise up your seed after you ,
who shall come out from your bowels ,
and I shall establish his kingdom .
*
He shall build a house for My Name ,
and I shall establish the throne of his kingdom forever .
*
I shall be a father to him ,
and he shall be a son to Me .
When he sins ,
then I will chasten him with a rod of men ,
and with strokes of the sons of men .
*
But My mercy shall not be taken from him ,
as I took it from Saul ,
whom I put away from before you .
*
And your house shall be established ,
and your kingdom before you forever .
Your throne shall be established forever .
*
According to all these words ,
and according to all this vision ,
so Nathan spoke to David .
