1 Chronicles 17:1
|
|
And it came to pass, when David dwelt in his
house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in a house of cedar,
but the ark of the covenant of Jehovah dwelleth under curtains. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 17:2 |
|
And Nathan said unto David, Do all that is in
thy heart; for God is with thee. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 17:3 |
|
And it came to pass the same night, that the
word of God came to Nathan, saying, |
| |
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 17:4 |
|
Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith Jehovah,
Thou shalt not build me a house to dwell in: |
| |
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 17:5 |
|
for I have not dwelt in a 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. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 17:6 |
|
In all places wherein I have walked with all
Israel, spake I a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to be
shepherd of my people, saying, Why have ye not built me a house of cedar? |
| |
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 17:7 |
|
Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant
David, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following
the sheep, that thou shouldest be prince over my people Israel: |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 17:8 |
|
and I have been with thee whithersoever thou
hast gone, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee; and I will make
thee a name, like unto the name of the great ones that are in the earth. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 17:9 |
|
And I will appoint a place for my people Israel,
and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more;
neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the first,
|
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 17:10 |
|
and as from the day that I commanded judges
to be over my people Israel; and I will subdue all thine enemies. Moreover I tell
thee that Jehovah will build thee a house. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 17:11 |
|
And it shall come to pass, when thy days are
fulfilled that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will set up thy seed
after thee, who shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 17:12 |
|
He shall build me a house, and I will establish
his throne for ever. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 17:13 |
|
I will be his father, and he shall be my son:
and I will not take my lovingkindness away from him, as I took it from him that
was before thee; |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 17:14 |
|
but I will settle him in my house and in my
kingdom for ever; and his throne shall be established for ever. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 17:15 |
|
According to all these words, and according
to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 17:16 |
|
Then David the king went in, and sat before
Jehovah; and he said, Who am I, O Jehovah God, and what is my house, that thou
hast brought me thus far? |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 17:17 |
|
And this was a small thing in thine eyes, O
God; but thou hast 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 Jehovah God.
|
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 17:18 |
|
What can David say yet more unto thee concerning
the honor which is done to thy servant? for thou knowest thy servant. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 17:19 |
|
O Jehovah, for thy servant's sake, and according
to thine own heart, hast thou wrought all this greatness, to make known all these
great things. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 17:20 |
|
O Jehovah, there is none like thee, neither
is there any God besides thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
|
| |
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 17:21 |
|
And what one nation in the earth is like thy
people Israel, whom God went to redeem unto himself for a people, to make thee
a name by great and terrible things, in driving out nations from before thy people,
whom thou redeemest out of Egypt? |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 17:22 |
|
For thy people Israel didst thou make thine
own people for ever; and thou, Jehovah, becamest their God. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 17:23 |
|
And now, O Jehovah, let the word that thou hast
spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, be established for ever,
and do as thou hast spoken. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 17:24 |
|
And let thy name be established and magnified
for ever, saying, Jehovah of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel:
and the house of David thy servant is established before thee. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 17:25 |
|
For thou, O my God, hast revealed to thy servant
that thou wilt build him a house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart
to pray before thee. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 17:26 |
|
And now, O Jehovah, thou art God, and hast promised
this good thing unto thy servant: |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 17:27 |
|
and now it hath pleased thee to bless the house
of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee: for thou, O Jehovah,
hast blessed, and it is blessed for ever. |
