2 Samuel 7
7:1And it came to pass when the king sat in his house, and the lord rested him round about from all of his enemies;
7:2that the king said to Nathan the prophet, Behold, indeed, I dwell in a house of cedar, and the ark of God sits in the midst of the tent.
7:3And Nathan said to the king, All as much as should be in your heart, proceed and do! for the lord is with you.
7:4And it came to pass in that night, and the word of the lord came to Nathan, saying,
7:5Go, and speak to my servant David! Thus says the lord, You shall not build for me a house for me to dwell in.
7:6For I have not dwelt in a house from which day I led the sons of Israel out of Egypt, until this day, for I was walking about in a lodging, in a tent.
7:7In all the places which all Israel went by, have I in speaking spoke to one tribe of Israel in which I gave charge to tend my people Israel, saying, Why do you not build for me a house of cedar?
7:8And now, thus you shall say to my servant David, Thus says the lord almighty. I took you from out of the haven of the sheep, for you to be for leader over my people Israel.
7:9And I was with you in all wheresoever you went, and I utterly destroyed all your enemies from your face, and I made to you a great name, according to the name of the great ones of the ones upon the earth.
7:10And I will establish a place for my people Israel, and I will plant it, and they shall encamp by themselves, and shall not be anxious any longer. And the son of iniquity shall not proceed to humble them as from the beginning,
7:11even from the days which I ordered judges over my people Israel. And I will rest you from all your enemies. And the lord will report to you that he shall build a house to you.
7:12And it will be whenever your days should have been fulfilled, and you shall sleep with your fathers, that I shall raise up your seed after you, who will be from out of your belly, and I shall prepare his kingdom.
7:13He shall build to me a house to my name, and I will erect his throne unto into the eon.
7:14I will be to him for father, and he will be to me for son. And if his injustice should come, then I shall reprove him by a rod of men, and by blows of the sons of men.
7:15But my mercy I will not remove from him, as I removed it from Saul, whom I removed from your face.
7:16And your house shall be trustworthy, and your kingdom unto the eon before me. And your throne will be erected into the eon.
7:17According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so spoke Nathan to David.
7:18And king David entered and sat before the lord, and said, Who am I, O my Lord, O lord? and what is my house, that you love me for these things?
7:19And it was reduced small before you, O my Lord, O lord, and you spoke about the house of your servant for a far time. And is this the law of man, O my Lord, O lord?
7:20And what shall David add yet to speak to you? And now you know your servant, O my Lord, O lord.
7:21Because of your word, and because of your servant, you have acted, and according to your heart you have done all this greatness, to make known to your servant;
7:22so as to magnify you, O my Lord, O lord. For there is none as you, and there is no God besides you among all in whom we heard with our ears.
7:23And what other nation is as your people Israel in the earth? As God guided it to ransom to himself a people, to establish your name for the executing greatness and grandeur, for you to cast out from in front of your people, whom you ransomed to yourself from out of Egypt, even nations and tents?
7:24And you prepared for yourself your people Israel for a people unto the eon. And you, O lord, became to them for God.
7:25And now, O my Lord, O lord, the word which you spoke for your servant, and for his house, confirm it as trustworthy unto the eon! And as you spoke, do!
7:26And now may your name be magnified until the eon, saying,
7:27The lord almighty, God over Israel. You uncovered the ear of your servant, saying, I shall build for you a house. On account of this your servant found his own heart to pray to you this prayer.
7:28And now, O my Lord, O lord, you are God, and your words will be true, and you spoke these good things concerning your servant.
7:29And now begin and bless the house of your servant to be into the eon before you! For you, O my Lord, O lord, spoke, and from your blessing the house of your servant shall be blessed into the eon.
