1 Chronicles
Chapter 17
|
1 Now it came1961 to pass, as David1732 sat3427 in his house,1004 that David1732 said559 to Nathan5416 the prophet,5030 See,2009 I dwell3427 in an house1004 of cedars,730 but the ark727 of the covenant1285 of the LORD3068 remains under8478 curtains.3407
|
2 Then Nathan5416 said559 to David,1732 Do6213 all3605 that is in your heart;3824 for God430 is with you.
|
3 And it came1961 to pass the same1931 night,3915 that the word1697 of God430 came1961 to Nathan,5416 saying,559
|
4 Go3212 and tell559 David1732 my servant,5650 Thus3541 said559 the LORD,3068 You shall not build1129 me an house1004 to dwell3427 in:
|
5 For I have not dwelled3427 in an house1004 since4480 the day3117 that I brought5927 up Israel3478 to this2088 day;3117 but have gone1961 from tent168 to tent,168 and from one tabernacle4908 to another.
|
6 Wherever3605 834 I have walked1980 with all3605 Israel,3478 spoke1696 I a word1697 to any259 of the judges8199 of Israel,3478 whom834 I commanded6680 to feed7462 my people,5971 saying,559 Why4100 have you not built1129 me an house1004 of cedars?730
|
7 Now6258 therefore thus3541 shall you say559 to my servant5650 David,1732 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 I took3947 you from the sheepcote,5116 even from following310 the sheep,6629 that you should be ruler5057 over5921 my people5971 Israel:3478
|
8 And I have been1961 with you wherever3605 834 you have walked, and have cut3772 off all3605 your enemies341 from before6440 you, and have made6213 you a name8034 like the name8034 of the great1419 men that are in the earth.776
|
9 Also I will ordain7760 a place4725 for my people5971 Israel,3478 and will plant5193 them, and they shall dwell7931 in their place,8478 and shall be moved7264 no3808 more;5750 neither3808 shall the children1121 of wickedness5766 waste1086 them any more,3254 as at the beginning,7223
|
10 And since the time3117 that I commanded6680 judges8199 to be over5921 my people5971 Israel.3478 Moreover I will subdue3665 all3605 your enemies.341 Furthermore I tell5046 you that the LORD3068 will build1129 you an house.1004
|
11 And it shall come1961 to pass, when3588 your days3117 be expired4390 that you must go3212 to be with your fathers,1 that I will raise6965 up your seed2233 after310 you, which834 shall be of your sons;1121 and I will establish3559 his kingdom.4438
|
12 He shall build1129 me an house,1004 and I will establish3559 his throne3678 for ever.5769
|
13 I will be his father,25 and he shall be my son:1121 and I will not take5493 my mercy2617 away5493 from him, as I took5493 it from him that was before6440 you:
|
14 But I will settle5975 him in my house1004 and in my kingdom4438 for ever:5769 and his throne3678 shall be established3559 for ever more.5769
|
15 According to all3605 these428 words,1697 and according to all3605 this2088 vision,2377 so3651 did Nathan5416 speak1696 to David.1732
|
16 And David1732 the king4428 came935 and sat3427 before6440 the LORD,3068 and said,559 Who4310 am I, O LORD3068 God,430 and what4310 is my house,1004 that you have brought935 me till now?1988
|
17 And yet this2063 was a small6994 thing in your eyes,5869 O God;430 for you have also spoken1696 of your servant's5650 house1004 for a great7350 while to come, and have regarded7200 me according to the estate8448 of a man120 of high4608 degree, O LORD3068 God.430
|
18 What4100 can David1732 speak more3254 5750 to you for the honor3519 of your servant?5650 for you know3045 your servant.5650
|
19 O LORD,3068 for your servant's5650 sake,5668 and according to your own heart,3820 have you done6213 all3605 this2063 greatness,1420 in making known3045 all3605 these great1420 things.
|
20 O LORD,3068 there is none369 like3644 you, neither369 is there any God430 beside2108 you, according to all3605 that we have heard8085 with our ears.241
|
21 And what4310 one259 nation1471 in the earth776 is like your people5971 Israel,3478 whom834 God430 went1980 to redeem6299 to be his own people,5971 to make7760 you a name8034 of greatness1420 and terribleness,3372 by driving1644 out nations1471 from before6440 your people 5971whom834 you have redeemed6299 out of Egypt?4714
|
22 For your people5971 Israel3478 did you make5414 your own people5971 for ever;5769 and you, LORD,3068 became1961 their God.430
|
23 Therefore now,6258 LORD,3068 let the thing1697 that you have spoken1696 concerning5921 your servant5650 and concerning5921 his house1004 be established539 for ever,5769 and do6213 as you have said.1696
|
24 Let it even be established,539 that your name8034 may be magnified1431 for ever,5769 saying,559 The LORD3068 of hosts6635 is the God430 of Israel,3478 even a God430 to Israel:3478 and let the house1004 of David1732 your servant5650 be established3559 before6440 you.
|
25 For you, O my God,430 have told1540 your servant5650 that you will build1129 him an house:1004 therefore5921 3651 your servant5650 has found4672 in his heart3820 to pray6419 before6440 you.
|
26 And now,6258 LORD,3068 you are God,430 and have promised1696 this2063 goodness2896 to your servant:5650
|
27 Now6258 therefore let it please2974 you to bless1288 the house1004 of your servant,5650 that it may be before6440 you for ever:5769 for you bless,1288 O LORD,3068 and it shall be blessed1288 for ever.5769
