2 Samuel 7:1-29

And it came to pass, when the king
<04428>
sat
<03427> (8804)
in his house
<01004>_,
and the LORD
<03068>
had given him rest
<05117> (8689)
round about
<05439>
from all his enemies
<0341> (8802)_;
That the king
<04428>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Nathan
<05416>
the prophet
<05030>_,
See
<07200> (8798)
now, I dwell
<03427> (8802)
in an house
<01004>
of cedar
<0730>_,
but the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>
dwelleth
<03427> (8802)
within
<08432>
curtains
<03407>_.
And Nathan
<05416>
said
<0559> (8799)
to the king
<04428>_,
Go
<03212> (8798)_,
do
<06213> (8798)
all that [is] in thine heart
<03824>_;
for the LORD
<03068>
[is] with thee.
And it came to pass that night
<03915>_,
that the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto Nathan
<05416>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Go
<03212> (8798)
and tell
<0559> (8804)
my servant
<05650>
David
<01732>_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
Shalt thou build
<01129> (8799)
me an house
<01004>
for me to dwell in
<03427> (8800)_?
{my servant...: Heb. to my servant, to David}
Whereas I have not dwelt
<03427> (8804)
in [any] house
<01004>
since the time
<03117>
that I brought up
<05927> (8687)
the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
out of Egypt
<04714>_,
even to this day
<03117>_,
but have walked
<01980> (8693)
in a tent
<0168>
and in a tabernacle
<04908>_.
In all [the places] wherein I have walked
<01980> (8694)
with all the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
spake
<01696> (8765)
I a word
<01697>
with any
<0259>
of the tribes
<07626>
of Israel
<03478>_,
whom I commanded
<06680> (8765)
to feed
<07462> (8800)
my people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Why build
<01129> (8804)
ye not me an house
<01004>
of cedar
<0730>_?
{any of...: any of the judges}
Now therefore so shalt thou say
<0559> (8799)
unto my servant
<05650>
David
<01732>_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
I took
<03947> (8804)
thee from the sheepcote
<05116>_,
from following
<0310>
the sheep
<06629>_,
to be ruler
<05057>
over my people
<05971>_,
over Israel
<03478>_:
{from following: Heb. from after}
And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest
<01980> (8804)_,
and have cut off
<03772> (8686)
all thine enemies
<0341> (8802)
out of thy sight
<06440>_,
and have made
<06213> (8804)
thee a great
<01419>
name
<08034>_,
like unto the name
<08034>
of the great
<01419>
[men] that [are] in the earth
<0776>_.
{out of...: Heb. from thy face}
Moreover I will appoint
<07760> (8804)
a place
<04725>
for my people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>_,
and will plant
<05193> (8804)
them, that they may dwell
<07931> (8804)
in a place of their own, and move
<07264> (8799)
no more; neither shall the children
<01121>
of wickedness
<05766>
afflict
<06031> (8763)
them any more
<03254> (8686)_,
as beforetime
<07223>_,
And as since the time
<03117>
that I commanded
<06680> (8765)
judges
<08199> (8802)
[to be] over my people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>_,
and have caused thee to rest
<05117> (8689)
from all thine enemies
<0341> (8802)_.
Also the LORD
<03068>
telleth
<05046> (8689)
thee that he will make
<06213> (8799)
thee an house
<01004>_.
And when thy days
<03117>
be fulfilled
<04390> (8799)_,
and thou shalt sleep
<07901> (8804)
with thy fathers
<01>_,
I will set up
<06965> (8689)
thy seed
<02233>
after
<0310>
thee, which shall proceed
<03318> (8799)
out of thy bowels
<04578>_,
and I will establish
<03559> (8689)
his kingdom
<04467>_.
He shall build
<01129> (8799)
an house
<01004>
for my name
<08034>_,
and I will stablish
<03559> (8790)
the throne
<03678>
of his kingdom
<04467>
for
<05704>
ever
<05769>_.
I will be his father
<01>_,
and he shall be my son
<01121>_.
If he commit iniquity
<05753> (8687)_,
I will chasten
<03198> (8689)
him with the rod
<07626>
of men
<0582>_,
and with the stripes
<05061>
of the children
<01121>
of men
<0120>_:
But my mercy
<02617>
shall not depart away
<05493> (8799)
from him, as I took
<05493> (8689)
[it] from Saul
<07586>_,
whom I put away
<05493> (8689)
before
<06440>
thee.
And thine house
<01004>
and thy kingdom
<04467>
shall be established
<0539> (8738)
for
<05704>
ever
<05769>
before
<06440>
thee: thy throne
<03678>
shall be established
<03559> (8737)
for
<05704>
ever
<05769>_.
According to all these words
<01697>_,
and according to all this vision
<02384>_,
so did Nathan
<05416>
speak
<01696> (8765)
unto David
<01732>_.
Then went
<0935> (8799)
king
<04428>
David
<01732>
in, and sat
<03427> (8799)
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_,
and he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Who [am] I, O Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_?
and what [is] my house
<01004>_,
that thou hast brought
<0935> (8689)
me hitherto
<01988>_?
And this was yet a small thing
<06994> (8799)
in thy sight
<05869>_,
O Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
but thou hast spoken
<01696> (8762)
also of thy servant's
<05650>
house
<01004>
for a great while to come
<07350>_.
And [is] this the manner
<08452>
of man
<0120>_,
O Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_?
{manner: Heb. law}
And what can
<03254> (0)
David
<01732>
say
<01696> (8763)
more
<03254> (8686)
unto thee? for thou, Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_,
knowest
<03045> (8804)
thy servant
<05650>_.
For thy word's
<01697>
sake, and according to thine own heart
<03820>_,
hast thou done
<06213> (8804)
all these great things
<01420>_,
to make thy servant
<05650>
know
<03045> (8687)
[them].
Wherefore thou art great
<01431> (8804)_,
O LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>_:
for [there is] none like thee, neither [is there any] God
<0430>
beside
<02108>
thee, according to all that we have heard
<08085> (8804)
with our ears
<0241>_.
And what one
<0259>
nation
<01471>
in the earth
<0776>
[is] like thy people
<05971>_,
[even] like Israel
<03478>_,
whom God
<0430>
went
<01980> (8804)
to redeem
<06299> (8800)
for a people
<05971>
to himself, and to make
<07760> (8800)
him a name
<08034>_,
and to do
<06213> (8800)
for you great things
<01420>
and terrible
<03372> (8737)_,
for thy land
<0776>_,
before
<06440>
thy people
<05971>_,
which thou redeemedst
<06299> (8804)
to thee from Egypt
<04714>_,
[from] the nations
<01471>
and their gods
<0430>_?
For thou hast confirmed
<03559> (8787)
to thyself thy people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>
[to be] a people
<05971>
unto thee for
<05704>
ever
<05769>_:
and thou, LORD
<03068>_,
art become
<01961> (8804)
their God
<0430>_.
And now, O LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>_,
the word
<01697>
that thou hast spoken
<01696> (8765)
concerning thy servant
<05650>_,
and concerning his house
<01004>_,
establish
<06965> (8685)
[it] for
<05704>
ever
<05769>_,
and do
<06213> (8798)
as thou hast said
<01696> (8765)_.
And let thy name
<08034>
be magnified
<01431> (8799)
for
<05704>
ever
<05769>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
[is] the God
<0430>
over Israel
<03478>_:
and let the house
<01004>
of thy servant
<05650>
David
<01732>
be established
<03559> (8737)
before
<06440>
thee.
For thou, O LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
hast revealed
<01540> (8804) <0241>
to thy servant
<05650>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
I will build
<01129> (8799)
thee an house
<01004>_:
therefore hath thy servant
<05650>
found
<04672> (8804)
in his heart
<03820>
to pray
<06419> (8692)
this prayer
<08605>
unto thee. {revealed: Heb. opened the ear}
And now, O Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_,
thou [art] that God
<0430>_,
and thy words
<01697>
be true
<0571>_,
and thou hast promised
<01696> (8762)
this goodness
<02896>
unto thy servant
<05650>_:
Therefore now let it please
<02974> (8685)
thee to bless
<01288> (8761)
the house
<01004>
of thy servant
<05650>_,
that it may continue for ever
<05769>
before
<06440>
thee: for thou, O Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_,
hast spoken
<01696> (8765)
[it]: and with thy blessing
<01293>
let the house
<01004>
of thy servant
<05650>
be blessed
<01288> (8792)
for ever
<05769>_.
{let it...: Heb. be thou pleased and bless}
