God's Covenant with David

(2Sa 7:1–29 )

1Ch 17:1It happened, when David lived in his house, that David said to Natan the prophet, Behold, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD dwells under curtains.

1Ch 17:2

1Ch 17:2Natan said to David, Do all that is in your heart; for God is with you.

1Ch 17:3

1Ch 17:3It happened the same night, that the word of God came to Natan, saying,

1Ch 17:4

1Ch 17:4Go and tell David my servant, Thus says the LORD, You shall not build me a house to dwell in:

1Ch 17:5

1Ch 17:5for I have not lived in a house since the day that I brought up Yisra'el, to this day, but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tent to another.

1Ch 17:6

1Ch 17:6In all places in which I have walked with all Yisra'el, spoke I a word with any of the judges of Yisra'el, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people, saying, Why have you not built me a house of cedar?

1Ch 17:7

1Ch 17:7Now therefore thus shall you tell my servant David, Thus says the LORD of Hosts, I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, that you should be prince over my people Yisra'el:

1Ch 17:8

1Ch 17:8and I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you; and I will make you a name, like the name of the great ones who are in the eretz.

1Ch 17:9

1Ch 17:9I will appoint a place for my people Yisra'el, 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,

1Ch 17:10

1Ch 17:10and as from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Yisra'el; and I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover I tell you that the LORD will build you a house.

1Ch 17:11

1Ch 17:11It shall happen, when your days are fulfilled that you must go to be with your fathers, that I will set up your seed after you, who shall be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom.

1Ch 17:12

1Ch 17:12He shall build me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.

1Ch 17:13

1Ch 17:13I 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 you;

1Ch 17:14

1Ch 17:14but I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom forever; and his throne shall be established forever.

1Ch 17:15

1Ch 17:15According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Natan speak to David.
