[1]Now it came to pass, as DavidH1732 satH3427[H8804] in his houseH1004, that DavidH1732 saidH559[H8799] to NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, Lo, I dwellH3427[H8802] in an houseH1004 of cedarsH730, but the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 remaineth under curtainsH3407. |

[2]Then NathanH5416 saidH559[H8799] unto DavidH1732, DoH6213[H8798] all that is in thine heartH3824; for God is with theeH430. |
| [No book] |
[3]And it came to pass the same nightH3915, that the wordH1697 of GodH430 came to NathanH5416, sayingH559,[H8800] |
| [No book] |
[4]GoH3212[H8798] and tellH559[H8804] DavidH1732 my servantH5650, Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068, Thou shalt not buildH1129[H8799] me an houseH1004 to dwell inH3427:[H8800] |
| [No book] |
[5]For I have not dwelt inH3427[H8804] an houseH1004 since the dayH3117 that I brought upH5927[H8689] IsraelH3478 unto this dayH3117; but have gone from tentH168 to tentH168, and from one tabernacle to anotherH4908. |

[6]Wheresoever I have walkedH1980[H8694] with all IsraelH3478, spakeH1696[H8765] I a wordH1697 to anyH259 of the judgesH8199[H8802] of IsraelH3478, whom I commandedH6680[H8765] to feedH7462[H8800] my peopleH5971, sayingH559[H8800], Why have ye not builtH1129[H8804] me an houseH1004 of cedarsH730? |
| [No book] |
[7]Now therefore thus shalt thou sayH559[H8799] unto my servantH5650 DavidH1732, Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, I tookH3947[H8804] thee from the sheepcoteH5116, even from followingH310 the sheepH6629, that thou shouldest be rulerH5057 over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478: |
| [No book] |
[8]And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walkedH1980[H8804], and have cut offH3772[H8686] all thine enemiesH341[H8802] from beforeH6440 thee, and have madeH6213[H8804] thee a nameH8034 like the nameH8034 of the great menH1419 that are in the earthH776. |
| [No book] |
[9]Also I will ordainH7760[H8804] a placeH4725 for my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and will plantH5193[H8804] them, and they shall dwellH7931[H8804] in their place, and shall be movedH7264[H8799] no more; neither shall the childrenH1121 of wickednessH5766 wasteH1086[H8763] them any moreH3254[H8686], as at the beginningH7223, |
| [No book] |
[10]And since the timeH3117 that I commandedH6680[H8765] judgesH8199[H8802] to be over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. Moreover I will subdueH3665[H8689] all thine enemiesH341[H8802]. Furthermore I tellH5046[H8686] thee that the LORDH3068 will buildH1129[H8799] thee an houseH1004. |
| [No book] |
[11]And it shall come to pass, when thy daysH3117 be expiredH4390[H8804] that thou must goH3212[H8800] to be with thy fathersH1, that I will raise upH6965[H8689] thy seedH2233 afterH310 thee, which shall be of thy sonsH1121; and I will establishH3559[H8689] his kingdomH4438. |
| [No book] |
[12]He shall buildH1129[H8799] me an houseH1004, and I will stablishH3559[H8790] his throneH3678 forH5704 everH5769. |
| [No book] |
[13]I will be his fatherH1, and he shall be my sonH1121: and I will not takeH5493 my mercyH2617 awayH5493[H8686] from him, as I tookH5493[H8689] it from him that was before theeH6440: |
| [No book] |
[14]But I will settleH5975[H8689] him in mine houseH1004 and in my kingdomH4438 for everH5769: and his throneH3678 shall be establishedH3559[H8737] forH5704 evermoreH5769. |

[15]According to all these wordsH1697, and according to all this visionH2377, so did NathanH5416 speakH1696[H8765] unto DavidH1732. |
| [No book] |
[16]And DavidH1732 the kingH4428 cameH935[H8799] and satH3427[H8799] beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and saidH559[H8799], Who am I, O LORDH3068 GodH430, and what is mine houseH1004, that thou hast broughtH935[H8689] me hithertoH1988? |
| [No book] |
[17]And yet this was a small thingH6994[H8799] in thine eyesH5869, O GodH430; for thou hast also spokenH1696[H8762] of thy servant'sH5650 houseH1004 for a great while to comeH7350, and hast regardedH7200[H8804] me according to the estateH8448 of a manH120 of high degreeH4609, O LORDH3068 GodH430. |
| [No book] |
[18]What canH3254 DavidH1732 speak moreH3254[H8686] to thee for the honourH3519 of thy servantH5650? for thou knowestH3045[H8804] thy servantH5650. |
| [No book] |
[19]O LORDH3068, for thy servant'sH5650 sake, and according to thine own heartH3820, hast thou doneH6213[H8804] all this greatnessH1420, in making knownH3045[H8687] all these great thingsH1420. |
| [No book] |
[20]O LORDH3068, there is none like thee, neither is there any GodH430 besideH2108 thee, according to all that we have heardH8085[H8804] with our earsH241. |
| [No book] |
[21]And what oneH259 nationH1471 in the earthH776 is like thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, whom GodH430 wentH1980[H8804] to redeemH6299[H8800] to be his own peopleH5971, to makeH7760[H8800] thee a nameH8034 of greatnessH1420 and terriblenessH3372[H8737], by driving outH1644[H8763] nationsH1471 from beforeH6440 thy peopleH5971, whom thou hast redeemedH6299[H8804] out of EgyptH4714? |
| [No book] |
[22]For thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 didst thou makeH5414[H8799] thine own peopleH5971 forH5704 everH5769; and thou, LORDH3068, becamest their GodH430. |
| [No book] |
[23]Therefore now, LORDH3068, let the thingH1697 that thou hast spokenH1696[H8765] concerning thy servantH5650 and concerning his houseH1004 be establishedH539[H8735] forH5704 everH5769, and doH6213[H8798] as thou hast saidH1696.[H8765] |
| [No book] |
[24]Let it even be establishedH539[H8735], that thy nameH8034 may be magnifiedH1431[H8799] forH5704 everH5769, sayingH559[H8800], The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, even a GodH430 to IsraelH3478: and let the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 thy servantH5650 be establishedH3559[H8737] before theeH6440. |
| [No book] |
[25]For thou, O my GodH430, hast toldH1540[H8804][H241] thy servantH5650 that thou wilt buildH1129[H8800] him an houseH1004: therefore thy servantH5650 hath foundH4672[H8804] in his heart to prayH6419[H8692] before theeH6440. |
| [No book] |
[26]And now, LORDH3068, thou art GodH430, and hast promisedH1696[H8762] this goodnessH2896 unto thy servantH5650: |
| [No book] |
[27]Now therefore let it pleaseH2974[H8689] thee to blessH1288[H8763] the houseH1004 of thy servantH5650, that it may be beforeH6440 thee for everH5769: for thou blessestH1288[H8765], O LORDH3068, and it shall be blessedH1288[H8794] for everH5769. |
