13_1CH_17_01 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 .
13_1CH_17_02 Then Nathan said unto David , do all that [ Is ] in thine heart ; for God [ Is ] with thee .
13_1CH_17_03 And it came to pass the same night , that the word of God came to Nathan , saying ,
13_1CH_17_04 go And tell David my servant , thus saith the LORD , thou shalt not build me an house to dwell in :
13_1CH_17_05 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 ] .
13_1CH_17_06 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 ?
13_1CH_17_07 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 :
13_1CH_17_08 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 .
13_1CH_17_09 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 ,
13_1CH_17_10 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 .
13_1CH_17_11 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 .
13_1CH_17_12 he shall build me an house , And I will Stablish his throne for ever .
13_1CH_17_13 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 :
13_1CH_17_14 but I will settle him in mine house And in my kingdom for ever : And his throne shall be established for evermore .
13_1CH_17_15 according to all These words , And according to all this vision , So did Nathan speak unto David .
13_1CH_17_16 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 ?
13_1CH_17_17 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 .
13_1CH_17_18 what can David [ speak ] more to thee for the honour of thy servant ? for thou knowest thy servant .
13_1CH_17_19 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 .
13_1CH_17_20 O LORD , [ there Is ] none like thee , neither [ Is there any ] God beside thee , according to all that we have heard with our ears .
13_1CH_17_21 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 ?
13_1CH_17_22 for thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people for ever ; And thou , LORD , becamest their God .
13_1CH_17_23 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 .
13_1CH_17_24 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 .
13_1CH_17_25 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 .
13_1CH_17_26 And now , LORD , thou art God , And hast promised this goodness unto thy servant :
13_1CH_17_27 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 .
