2 Samuel - ch 7 v 1 - 20

  1. It happened, when the king lived in his house, and Yahweh had given him rest from all his enemies all around,
  2. that the king said to Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells within curtains.
  3. Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in your heart; for Yahweh is with you.
  4. It happened the same night, that the word of Yahweh came to Nathan, saying,
  5. Go and tell my servant David, Thus says Yahweh, Shall you build me a house for me to dwell in?
  6. for I have not lived in a house since the day that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have moved around in a tent and in a tabernacle.
  7. In all places in which I have walked with all the children of Israel, spoke I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people Israel, saying, Why have you not built me a house of cedar?
  8. Now therefore thus you shall tell my servant David, Thus says Yahweh of Armies, I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, that you should be prince over my people, over Israel;
  9. and I have been with you wherever you went, and have cut off all your enemies from before you; and I will make you a great name, like the name of the great ones who are in the earth.
  10. I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as at the first,
  11. and as from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel; and I will cause you to rest from all your enemies. Moreover Yahweh tells you that Yahweh will make you a house.
  12. When your days are fulfilled, and you shall sleep with your fathers, I will set up your seed after you, who shall proceed out of your bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
  13. He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.
  14. I will be his father, and he shall be my son: if he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men;
  15. but my loving kindness shall not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before you.
  16. Your house and your kingdom shall be made sure for ever before you: your throne shall be established forever.
  17. According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak to David.
  18. Then David the king went in, and sat before Yahweh; and he said, Who am I, Lord Yahweh, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far?
  19. This was yet a small thing in your eyes, Lord Yahweh; but you have spoken also of your servant's house for a great while to come; and this too after the manner of men, Lord Yahweh!
  20. What can David say more to you? for you know your servant, Lord Yahweh.
