Now when the king was settled in his house, and the LORD had given him rest from all of his enemies around him,

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;

the king said to Nathan the prophet, "See now, I am living in a house of cedar, but the ark of God remains in a tent."

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.

Nathan said to the king, "Go, do all that is in your heart, for the LORD is with you."

And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thine heart; for the LORD is with thee.

But that same night the word of the LORD came to Nathan,

And it came to pass that night, that the word of the LORD came unto Nathan, saying,

"Go and tell my servant David, 'Thus says the LORD: Is it you who would build me a house to dwell in?

Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the LORD, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in?

For I have not lived in a house since the day I brought the people of Israel up from Egypt, to this day, but I have been moving about in a tent, a tabernacle.

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.

In all the places where I have moved with all the people of Israel, did I speak a word to any of the tribal leaders of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd my people Israel, saying, 'Why have you not built me a house of cedar?'

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?

Now therefore, this is what you shall say to my servant David: Thus says the LORD of hosts: I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people Israel.

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:

I have been with you wherever you went and have cut off all your enemies from before you. And I will make for you a great name, like the name of the great ones of the earth.

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.

And I will appoint a place for my people Israel and plant them, so that they may dwell in their own place and be disturbed no more. Evil people will not continue to oppress them as they did at the beginning,

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,

from the time that I appointed judges over my people Israel. And I will give you rest from all your enemies. Moreover, the LORD declares to you that the LORD will make you a house.

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.

When your days are fulfilled and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come from your own body, and I will establish his kingdom.

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.

He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.

I will be his father, and he shall be my son. When he sins, I will discipline him with the rod of men and with the stripes of the sons of men.

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:

But my steadfast love will not depart from him, as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from before you.

But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.

And your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before you. Your throne shall be established forever.

And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.

Nathan spoke all these words and this entire vision to David.

According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.

Then King David went in and sat before the LORD, and he said, "Who am I, O Lord GOD, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far?

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?

And yet this was a small thing in your eyes, O Lord GOD. You have also spoken of your servant's house for a long time to come, and this is instruction for mankind, O Lord GOD!

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?

And what more can David say to you? For you know your servant, O Lord GOD.

And what can David say more unto thee? for thou, Lord GOD, knowest thy servant.

Because of your word and according to your own heart, you have done all this great thing to make your servant know it.

For thy word's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all these great things, to make thy servant know them.

Therefore you are great, O LORD God, for there is no one like you, and there is no God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

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.

And who is like your people Israel, the one nation on earth whom God went to redeem as his people, to make a name for himself and to perform great and awesome deeds for your land, driving out nations and their gods before your people, whom you redeemed for yourself from Egypt?

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?

And you established your people Israel as your own people forever, and you, O LORD, became their God.

For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever: and thou, LORD, art become their God.

And now, O LORD God, confirm forever the word that you have spoken concerning your servant and his house, and do as you have spoken.

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.

May your name be magnified forever, saying, 'The LORD of hosts is God over Israel,' and may the house of your servant David be established before you.

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.

For you, O LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have revealed this to your servant, saying, 'I will build you a house.' Therefore your servant has found courage to pray this prayer to you.

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.

And now, O Lord GOD, you are God, and your words are truth, and you have promised this good thing to your servant.

And now, O Lord GOD, thou art that God, and thy words be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:

Now therefore, please bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you. For you, O Lord GOD, have spoken, and with your blessing shall the house of your servant be blessed forever.

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.
