10_2SA_07_01 And it came to pass , when the king sat in his house , And the LORD had given him rest round about from all his enemies ;
10_2SA_07_02 that the king said unto Nathan the prophet , see now , I dwell in an house of cedar , but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains .
10_2SA_07_03 And Nathan said to the king , go , do all that [ Is ] in thine heart ; for the LORD [ Is ] with thee .
10_2SA_07_04 And it came to pass that night , that the word of the LORD came unto Nathan , saying ,
10_2SA_07_05 go And tell my servant David , thus saith the LORD , shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in ?
10_2SA_07_06 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 .
10_2SA_07_07 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 house of cedar ?
10_2SA_07_08 now therefore So shalt thou say unto my servant David , thus saith the LORD of hosts , I took thee from the sheepcote , from following the sheep , to be ruler over my people , over Israel :
10_2SA_07_09 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_2SA_07_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 ,
10_2SA_07_11 And as since the time that I commanded judges [ to be ] over my people Israel , And have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies . also the LORD telleth thee that he will make thee an house .
10_2SA_07_12 And when thy days be fulfilled , And thou shalt Sleep with thy fathers , I will set up thy seed after thee , which shall proceed out of thy bowels , And I will establish his kingdom .
10_2SA_07_13 he shall build an house for my name , And I will Stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever .
10_2SA_07_14 I will be his Father , And he shall be my son . if he commit iniquity , I will chasten him with the rod of men , And with the stripes of the children of men :
10_2SA_07_15 but my mercy shall not Depart away from him , as I took [ it ] from Saul , whom I put away before thee .
10_2SA_07_16 And thine house And thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee : thy throne shall be established for ever .
10_2SA_07_17 according to all These words , And according to all this vision , So did Nathan speak unto David .
10_2SA_07_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 ?
10_2SA_07_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 ?
10_2SA_07_20 And what can David say more unto thee ? for thou , LORD God , knowest thy servant .
10_2SA_07_21 for thy word's sake , And according to thine own heart , hast thou done all These great things , to make thy servant know [ them ] .
10_2SA_07_22 Wherefore thou art great , O LORD God : for [ there Is ] none like thee , neither [ Is there any ] God beside thee , according to all that we have heard with our ears .
10_2SA_07_23 And what one 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 ?
10_2SA_07_24 for thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel [ to be ] A people unto thee for ever : And thou , LORD , art become their God .
10_2SA_07_25 And now , O LORD God , the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant , And concerning his house , establish [ it ] for ever , And do as thou hast said .
10_2SA_07_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 .
10_2SA_07_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 .
10_2SA_07_28 And now , O LORD God , thou [ art ] that God , And thy words be true , And thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant :
10_2SA_07_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 .
