 |
| 2 Samuel 7:1 |
|
And it came to pass, when the king dwelt in
his house, and Jehovah had given him rest from all his enemies round about, |
|
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 7:2 |
|
that the king said unto Nathan the prophet,
See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains.
|
| |
|
|
| 2 Samuel 7:3 |
|
And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that
is in thy heart; for Jehovah is with thee. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Samuel 7:4 |
|
And it came to pass the same night, that the
word of Jehovah came unto Nathan, saying, |
| |
|
|
| 2 Samuel 7:5 |
|
Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith Jehovah,
Shalt thou build me a house for me to dwell in? |
| |
|
|
| 2 Samuel 7:6 |
|
for I have not dwelt in a house since the day
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. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Samuel 7:7 |
|
In all 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 be shepherd of my people Israel, saying, Why have ye not built
me a house of cedar? |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 7:8 |
|
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, over Israel; |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 7:9 |
|
and I have been with thee whithersoever thou
wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee; and I will make
thee a great name, like unto the name of the great ones that are in the earth.
|
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 7:10 |
|
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 afflict them any more, as at the first,
|
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 7:11 |
|
and as from the day that I commanded judges
to be over my people Israel; and I will cause thee to rest from all thine enemies.
Moreover Jehovah telleth thee that Jehovah will make thee a house. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 7:12 |
|
When thy days are fulfilled, and thou shalt
sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, that shall proceed
out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 7:13 |
|
He shall build a house for my name, and I will
establish the throne of his kingdom for ever. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 7:14 |
|
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; |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 7:15 |
|
but my lovingkindness shall not depart from
him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 7:16 |
|
And thy house and thy kingdom shall be made
sure for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 7:17 |
|
According to all these words, and according
to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 7:18 |
|
Then David the king went in, and sat before
Jehovah; and he said, Who am I, O Lord Jehovah, and what is my house, that thou
hast brought me thus far? |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 7:19 |
|
And this was yet a small thing in thine eyes,
O Lord Jehovah; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a great while
to come; and this too after the manner of men, O Lord Jehovah! |
| |
|
|
| 2 Samuel 7:20 |
|
And what can David say more unto thee? for thou
knowest thy servant, O Lord Jehovah. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Samuel 7:21 |
|
For thy word's sake, and according to thine
own heart, hast thou wrought all this greatness, to make thy servant know it.
|
|
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 7:22 |
|
Wherefore thou art great, O Jehovah God: for
there is none like thee, neither is there any God besides thee, according to all
that we have heard with our ears. |
|
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 7:23 |
|
And what one nation in the earth is like thy
people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem unto himself for a people, and
to make him a name, and to do great things for you, and terrible things for thy
land, before thy people, whom thou redeemest to thee out of Egypt, from the nations
and their gods? |
|
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 7:24 |
|
And thou didst establish to thyself thy people
Israel to be a people unto thee for ever; and thou, Jehovah, becamest their God.
|
|
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 7:25 |
|
And now, O Jehovah God, the word that thou hast
spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, confirm thou it for ever,
and do as thou hast spoken. |
|
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 7:26 |
|
And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying,
Jehovah of hosts is God over Israel; and the house of thy servant David shall
be established before thee. |
|
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 7:27 |
|
For thou, O Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel,
hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee a house: therefore hath
thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee. |
|
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 7:28 |
|
And now, O Lord Jehovah, thou art God, and thy
words are truth, and thou hast promised this good thing unto thy servant: |
|
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 7:29 |
|
now therefore let it please thee to bless the
house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee; for thou, O Lord
Jehovah, hast spoken it: and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be
blessed for ever. |
