*
Go and tell my servant David ,
Thus saith the LORD ,
Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in ?
*
Whereas I have not dwelt in any house since the time that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt ,
even to this day ,
but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle .
*
In all the places wherein I have walked with all the children of Israel spake I a word with any of the tribes of Israel Yisra #
el #,
whom I commanded to feed my people Israel Yisra #
el #,
saying ,
Why build ye not me an house of cedar ?
*
Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David ,
Thus saith the LORD of hosts ,
I took thee from the sheepcote ,
from following the sheep tso #
n #,
to be ruler over my people ,
over Israel Yisra #
el #:
*
And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest ,
and have cut off all thine enemies out of thy sight ,
and have made thee a great name ,
like unto the name of the great men that are in the earth .
*
Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel Yisra #
el #,
and will plant them ,
that they may dwell in a place of their own ,
and move no more ;
neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more ,
as beforetime ri #
shown #,
*
And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel Yisra #
el #,
and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies .
Also the LORD telleth thee that he will make thee an house .
