King James Version
And
it cometh
to pass as David sat in his house, that David saith
unto
Nathan the prophet, `
Lo, I am
dwelling
in a
house of cedars, and
the ark of the covenant of Jehovah
`is'
under curtains ;'
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 .
and
Nathan saith
unto David, `
All that `
is '
in thy
heart do,
for God `
is '
with thee. '
Then
Nathan said
unto David, Do
all that is in thine
heart ;
for God is with thee.
And it cometh
to pass on
that
night that a
word of God is
unto
Nathan, saying,
And it came
to pass the
same
night ,
that the
word of God came
to
Nathan, saying,
`
Go ,
and thou
hast
said
unto
David My servant, Thus said
Jehovah
, Thou dost
not build for
Me the
house to dwell in:
Go and tell
David my servant, Thus saith
the
LORD
, Thou shalt
not build me an
house to dwell in:
for I have not dwelt in a
house from
the day that I brought up Israel till
this day ,
and
I
am
from tent unto
tent :
and from the
tabernacle ,
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.
whithersoever
I have walked up
and
down
among
all Israel, a
word
spake I ,
with
one
of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed My people, saying, Why have ye not built for
Me a
house of cedars?
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?
`And
now ,
thus dost
thou say to
My servant ,
to
David, Thus said
Jehovah
of Hosts, I have
taken
thee from the habitation
, from after
the sheep, to
be leader
over My people Israel ,
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 :
and I am
with thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and I
cut off all thine enemies from thy
presence
, and have made for
thee a name like the name of the great ones
who
`
are '
in the earth.
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.
`And
I have
prepared
a place for My people Israel, and planted
it
, and it
hath
dwelt
in its
place, and is
not
troubled
any
more ,
and
the sons
of perverseness
add
not
to
wear
it
out
as at first
,
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
,
yea,
even
from
the days
that I appointed
judges over My people Israel. `And
I have
humbled
all thine enemies ,
and
I declare
to
thee that a
house
doth
Jehovah
build for
thee ,
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.
and it hath
come to pass, when thy days have
been
fulfilled
to
go with thy fathers, that I have
raised
up thy seed after thee, who
is
of thy sons ,
and I have
established
his kingdom ,
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 .
he doth
build for
Me a
house, and I have
established
his throne unto
the
age;
He shall
build me an
house, and I will
stablish
his throne for
ever.
I am
to
him
for
a
father, and he is
to
Me
for
a
son ,
and My
kindness
I turn
not aside
from him as I turned
it aside
from him who
was before thee ,
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 :
and
I have
established
him in My
house ,
and in My kingdom unto
the
age,
and his throne is
established unto
the
age
. '
But
I will
settle
him in mine
house and in my kingdom for
ever:
and his throne shall
be
established for
evermore
.
According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so spake
Nathan unto David.
According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did
Nathan speak
unto David.
And David the king cometh
in
and sitteth
before Jehovah
, and saith
, `
Who `
am '
I, O Jehovah
God, and what my
house, that Thou hast brought me hitherto?
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?
And this is
small in Thine eyes, O God ,
and
Thou speakest
concerning
the
house
of thy servant
afar
off
, and hast seen
me as
a
type
of
the man who
is
on
high, O Jehovah
God !
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 .
`
What doth
David add
more unto
Thee for the honour
of Thy servant ;
and
Thou Thy servant hast
known
.
What can
David speak
more to
thee for the honor
of thy servant ?
for
thou knowest
thy servant.
O Jehovah
, for Thy servant's sake, and according to Thine own heart Thou
hast done all this greatness, to
make
known all these great things.
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.
O Jehovah
, there is none like Thee, and
there
is no
god save
Thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
O LORD
, there is none like thee, neither
is there
any
God beside
thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
`
And who
`is'
as
Thy
people
Israel,
one nation in the earth whom God hath
gone
to ransom
to Him
for
a
people, to make for
Thee a name great
and fearful
, to
cast
out from the
presence
of
Thy people whom Thou hast ransomed
out of Egypt --
nations
?
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?
Yea,
Thou
dost
appoint
Thy people Israel to
Thee
for
a
people unto
the
age,
and Thou, O
Jehovah
, hast
been
to
them
for
God.
For
thy people Israel didst
thou
make
thine
own
people for
ever;
and thou, LORD
, becamest
their
God.
`And
now, O
Jehovah
, the word
that Thou hast spoken concerning Thy servant ,
and concerning his house ,
let
be stedfast
unto
the
age
, and do as Thou hast spoken;
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.
and
let it be stedfast
, and
Thy name is
great
unto
the
age
, saying, Jehovah
of Hosts ,
God of Israel, is
God to Israel ,
and the house of Thy servant David
is
established before Thee ;
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 .
for Thou, O my God, Thou
hast uncovered
the
ear
of
Thy servant --
to
build to
him a
house ,
therefore hath
Thy servant found to pray before Thee.
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.
`
And now, Jehovah
, Thou `
art '
God Himself
, and Thou
speakest
concerning
Thy
servant
this goodness ;
And now, LORD
, thou art God, and hast
promised
this goodness unto
thy
servant:
and
now ,
Thou
hast
been
pleased
to bless the house of Thy servant, to
be to
the
age
before Thee ;
for Thou, O Jehovah,
hast
blessed
, and it is
blessed to
the
age
. '
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
.
