1CH-17:1 Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that
David said to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in an house of
cedars, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD [remaineth]
under curtains.
1CH-17:2 Then Nathan said unto David, Do all that [is] in thine
heart; for God [is] with thee.
1CH-17:3 And it came to pass the same night, that the word of
God came to Nathan, saying,
1CH-17:4 Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith the LORD, Thou
shalt not build me an house to dwell in:
1CH-17:5 For I have not dwelt in an house since the day that I
brought up Israel unto this day; but have gone from tent to tent,
and from [one] tabernacle [to another].
1CH-17:6 Wheresoever I have walked with all Israel, spake I a
word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my
people, saying, Why have ye not built me an house of cedars?
1CH-17:7 Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant David,
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote,
[even] from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be ruler
over my people Israel:
1CH-17:8 And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast
walked, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and
have made thee a name like the name of the great men that [are]
in the earth.
1CH-17:9 Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and
will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall
be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste
them any more, as at the beginning,
1CH-17:10 And since the time that I commanded judges [to be]
over my people Israel. Moreover I will subdue all thine enemies.
Furthermore I tell thee that the LORD will build thee an house.
1CH-17:11 And it shall come to pass, when thy days be expired
that thou must go [to be] with thy fathers, that I will raise up
thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will
establish his kingdom.
1CH-17:12 He shall build me an house, and I will stablish his
throne for ever.
1CH-17:13 I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I
will not take my mercy away from him, as I took [it] from [him]
that was before thee:
1CH-17:14 But I will settle him in mine house and in my kingdom
for ever: and his throne shall be established for evermore.
1CH-17:15 According to all these words, and according to all
this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.
1CH-17:16 And David the king came and sat before the LORD, and
said, Who [am] I, O LORD God, and what [is] mine house, that
thou hast brought me hitherto?
1CH-17:17 And [yet] this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God;
for thou hast [also] spoken of thy servant's house for a great
while to come, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a
man of high degree, O LORD God.
1CH-17:18 What can David [speak] more to thee for the honour of
thy servant? for thou knowest thy servant.
1CH-17:19 O LORD, for thy servant's sake, and according to thine
own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, in making known
all [these] great things.
1CH-17:20 O LORD, [there is] none like thee, neither [is there
any] God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with
our ears.
1CH-17:21 And what one nation in the earth [is] like thy people
Israel, whom God went to redeem [to be] his own people, to make
thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out
nations from before thy people, whom thou hast redeemed out of
Egypt?
1CH-17:22 For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people
for ever; and thou, LORD, becamest their God.
1CH-17:23 Therefore now, LORD, let the thing that thou hast
spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be
established for ever, and do as thou hast said.
1CH-17:24 Let it even be established, that thy name may be
magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts [is] the God of
Israel, [even] a God to Israel: and [let] the house of David thy
servant [be] established before thee.
1CH-17:25 For thou, O my God, hast told thy servant that thou
wilt build him an house: therefore thy servant hath found [in
his heart] to pray before thee.
1CH-17:26 And now, LORD, thou art God, and hast promised this
goodness unto thy servant:
1CH-17:27 Now therefore let it please thee to bless the house of
thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever: for thou
blessest, O LORD, and [it shall be] blessed for ever.
