2 Samuel 7
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
the
king
sat
in
his
house,
and
the
Lord
had
given
him
a
rest
round
about
from
all
his
enemies;
2 That
the
king
said
unto
Nathan
the
prophet,
See
now,
I
dwell
in
an
house
of
cedar,
but
the
ark
of
God
dwelleth
within
a
curtains.
3 And
Nathan
said
to
the
king,
Go,
do
all
that
is
in
thine
a
heart;
for
the
Lord
is
with
thee.
4 And
it
came
to
pass
that
night,
that
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
unto
a
Nathan,
saying,
5 Go
and
tell
my
servant
David,
Thus
saith
the
Lord,
Shalt
thou
build
me
an
a
house
for
me
to
dwell
in?
6 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.
7 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,
whom
I
commanded
to
feed
my
people
Israel,
saying,
Why
build
ye
not
me
an
a
house
of
cedar?
8 Now
therefore
so
shalt
thou
say
unto
my
servant
David,
Thus
saith
the
Lord
of
hosts,
I
took
thee
from
the
a
sheepcote,
from
following
the
sheep,
to
be
ruler
over
my
people,
over
Israel:
9 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.
10 Moreover
I
will
appoint
a
place
for
my
people
Israel,
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,
11 And
as
since
the
time
that
I
commanded
a
judges
to
be
over
my
people
Israel,
and
have
caused
thee
to
b
rest
from
all
thine
enemies.
Also
the
Lord
telleth
thee
that
he
will
make
thee
an
c
house.
12 And
when
thy
days
be
fulfilled,
and
thou
shalt
sleep
with
thy
fathers,
I
will
set
up
thy
a
seed
after
thee,
which
shall
proceed
out
of
thy
bowels,
and
I
will
establish
his
kingdom.
13 He
shall
a
build
an
house
for
my
name,
and
I
will
b
stablish
the
throne
of
his
kingdom
for
ever.
14 I
will
be
his
a
father,
and
he
shall
be
my
b
son.
If
he
commit
iniquity,
I
will
c
chasten
him
with
the
rod
of
men,
and
with
the
stripes
of
the
children
of
men:
15 But
my
mercy
shall
not
depart
away
from
him,
as
I
took
it
from
Saul,
whom
I
put
away
before
thee.
16 And
thine
a
house
and
thy
kingdom
shall
be
established
for
ever
before
thee:
thy
b
throne
shall
be
established
for
ever.
17 According
to
all
these
words,
and
according
to
all
this
vision,
so
did
Nathan
speak
unto
David.
18 Then
went
king
David
in,
and
sat
before
the
Lord,
and
he
said,
Who
am
I,
O
Lord
God?
and
what
is
my
house,
that
thou
hast
brought
me
hitherto?
19 And
this
was
yet
a
small
thing
in
thy
sight,
O
Lord
God;
but
thou
hast
spoken
also
of
thy
servant's
house
for
a
great
while
to
come.
And
is
this
the
manner
of
man,
O
Lord
God?
20 And
what
can
David
say
more
unto
thee?
for
thou,
Lord
God,
a
knowest
thy
servant.
21 For
thy
word's
sake,
and
according
to
thine
own
heart,
hast
thou
done
all
these
a
great
things,
to
make
thy
servant
know
them.
22 Wherefore
thou
art
great,
O
Lord
God:
for
there
is
none
a
like
thee,
neither
is
there
any
God
beside
thee,
according
to
all
that
we
have
heard
with
our
ears.
23 And
what
one
a
nation
in
the
earth
is
like
thy
people,
even
like
Israel,
whom
God
went
to
redeem
for
a
people
to
himself,
and
to
make
him
a
name,
and
to
do
for
you
great
things
and
terrible,
for
thy
land,
before
thy
people,
which
thou
redeemedst
to
thee
from
Egypt,
from
the
nations
and
their
gods?
24 For
thou
hast
a
confirmed
to
thyself
thy
people
b
Israel
to
be
a
people
unto
thee
for
ever:
and
thou,
Lord,
art
become
their
God.
25 And
now,
O
Lord
God,
the
word
that
thou
hast
spoken
concerning
thy
servant,
and
concerning
his
house,
a
establish
it
for
ever,
and
do
as
thou
hast
said.
26 And
let
thy
name
be
magnified
for
ever,
saying,
The
Lord
of
hosts
is
the
God
over
Israel:
and
let
the
house
of
thy
servant
David
be
established
before
thee.
27 For
thou,
O
Lord
of
hosts,
God
of
Israel,
hast
revealed
to
thy
servant,
saying,
I
will
build
thee
an
house:
therefore
hath
thy
servant
found
in
his
heart
to
pray
this
prayer
unto
thee.
28 And
now,
O
Lord
God,
thou
art
that
God,
and
thy
words
be
a
true,
and
thou
hast
promised
this
goodness
unto
thy
servant:
29 Therefore
now
let
it
please
thee
to
bless
the
house
of
thy
servant,
that
it
may
continue
for
ever
before
thee:
for
thou,
O
Lord
God,
hast
spoken
it:
and
with
thy
blessing
let
the
house
of
thy
servant
be
blessed
for
ever.
