*
And it came to pass ,
when the king had taken up his abode in his house ,
and Yahweh had given him rest round about ,
from all his enemies ,
*
that the king said unto Nathan the prophet ,
See ,
I pray thee I ,
have my abode in a house ,
of cedar ,
but ,
the ark of God ,
abideth in ,
the midst ,
of curtains .
*
And Nathan said unto the king ,
All that is in thy heart ,
godo ,
for Yahweh is with thee .
*
But so it was ,
in that night ,
that the word of Yahweh came unto Nathan ,
saying :
*
Go and say unto my servantunto David :
Thus ,
saith Yahweh ,
Shalt ,
thou ,
build me a house ,
for me to dwell in ;
*
seeing that I have not dwelt in a house ,
since the day that I brought up the sons of Israel out of Egypt ,
even unto this day ,
but have been wandering in a tent as my habitation ?
*
Wheresoever I have wandered with any of the sons of Israel ,
spake I ever ,
a word ,
with any one of the tribes of Israel ,
whom I charged to shepherd my people Israel ,
saying ,
Wherefore have ye not built me a house ,
of cedar ?
*
Now ,
therefore ,
thus ,
shalt thou say unto my servant ,
unto David :
Thus ,
saith Yahweh of hosts ,
I myself ,
took thee away from the pasture ,
from after the flock ,
to become leader over my people ,
over Israel ;
*
and was with thee ,
whithersoever thou didst go ,
and have cut off all thine enemies ,
from before thee ,
and will make thee a name ,
like the name of the great ones who are in the earth ;
*
and will appoint a place for my people ,
for Israel ,
and will plant them ,
and they shall inhabit their place ,
and be unsettled no more ,
neither shall the sons of perversity again humiliate them ,
as at first ;
*
even from the day when I put judges in charge over my people Israel ,
thus will I give thee rest from all thine enemies .
And Yahweh must tell thee that ,
a house ,
will Yahweh make for thee .
*
And it shall be that ,
when thy days shall be fulfilled ,
and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers ,
then will I raise up thy seed after thee ,
which proceedeth from thine own body ,
and I will establish his kingdom .
*
He ,
shall build a house for my name ,
and I will establish his kingly throne unto times age-abiding :
*
I ,
will become his father ,
And ,
he ,
shall become my son :
If he commit iniquity ,
then will I correct him ,
with the rod of men ,
and with the stripes of the sons of men ;
*
But ,
my lovingkindness ,
shall not depart from him ,
as I caused it to depart from Saul ,
whom I caused to depart from before thee .
*
So shall thy house and thy kingdom be made steadfast unto times age-abiding ,
before thee ,
thy throne ,
shall be established unto times age-abiding .
*
According to all these words ,
and according to all this vision ,
so ,
spake Nathan unto David .
