1 Chronicles 17:1-20

17:1

Now it came to pass, as David
<01732>

sat
<03427> (8804)

in his house
<01004>_,

that David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Nathan
<05416>

the prophet
<05030>_,

Lo, I dwell
<03427> (8802)

in an house
<01004>

of cedars
<0730>_,

but the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>

of the LORD
<03068>

[remaineth] under curtains
<03407>_.

17:2

Then Nathan
<05416>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto David
<01732>_,

Do
<06213> (8798)

all that [is] in thine heart
<03824>_;

for God
<0430>

[is] with thee.

17:3

And it came to pass the same night
<03915>_,

that the word
<01697>

of God
<0430>

came to Nathan
<05416>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

17:4

Go
<03212> (8798)

and tell
<0559> (8804)

David
<01732>

my servant
<05650>_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Thou shalt not build
<01129> (8799)

me an house
<01004>

to dwell in
<03427> (8800)_:

17:5

For I have not dwelt in
<03427> (8804)

an house
<01004>

since the day
<03117>

that I brought up
<05927> (8689)

Israel
<03478>

unto this day
<03117>_;

but have gone from tent
<0168>

to tent
<0168>_,

and from [one] tabernacle
<04908>

[to another]. {have gone: Heb. have been}

17:6

Wheresoever I have walked
<01980> (8694)

with all Israel
<03478>_,

spake
<01696> (8765)

I a word
<01697>

to any
<0259>

of the judges
<08199> (8802)

of Israel
<03478>_,

whom I commanded
<06680> (8765)

to feed
<07462> (8800)

my people
<05971>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Why have ye not built
<01129> (8804)

me an house
<01004>

of cedars
<0730>_?

17:7

Now therefore thus shalt thou say
<0559> (8799)

unto my servant
<05650>

David
<01732>_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

I took
<03947> (8804)

thee from the sheepcote
<05116>_,

[even] from following
<0310>

the sheep
<06629>_,

that thou shouldest be ruler
<05057>

over my people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_:

{from following: Heb. from after}

17:8

And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walked
<01980> (8804)_,

and have cut off
<03772> (8686)

all thine enemies
<0341> (8802)

from before
<06440>

thee, and have made
<06213> (8804)

thee a name
<08034>

like the name
<08034>

of the great men
<01419>

that [are] in the earth
<0776>_.

17:9

Also I will ordain
<07760> (8804)

a place
<04725>

for my people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_,

and will plant
<05193> (8804)

them, and they shall dwell
<07931> (8804)

in their place, and shall be moved
<07264> (8799)

no more; neither shall the children
<01121>

of wickedness
<05766>

waste
<01086> (8763)

them any more
<03254> (8686)_,

as at the beginning
<07223>_,

17:10

And since the time
<03117>

that I commanded
<06680> (8765)

judges
<08199> (8802)

[to be] over my people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_.

Moreover I will subdue
<03665> (8689)

all thine enemies
<0341> (8802)_.

Furthermore I tell
<05046> (8686)

thee that the LORD
<03068>

will build
<01129> (8799)

thee an house
<01004>_.

17:11

And it shall come to pass, when thy days
<03117>

be expired
<04390> (8804)

that thou must go
<03212> (8800)

[to be] with thy fathers
<01>_,

that I will raise up
<06965> (8689)

thy seed
<02233>

after
<0310>

thee, which shall be of thy sons
<01121>_;

and I will establish
<03559> (8689)

his kingdom
<04438>_.

17:12

He shall build
<01129> (8799)

me an house
<01004>_,

and I will stablish
<03559> (8790)

his throne
<03678>

for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_.

17:13

I will be his father
<01>_,

and he shall be my son
<01121>_:

and I will not take
<05493> (0)

my mercy
<02617>

away
<05493> (8686)

from him, as I took
<05493> (8689)

[it] from [him] that was before
<06440>

thee:

17:14

But I will settle
<05975> (8689)

him in mine house
<01004>

and in my kingdom
<04438>

for ever
<05769>_:

and his throne
<03678>

shall be established
<03559> (8737)

for
<05704>

evermore
<05769>_.

17:15

According to all these words
<01697>_,

and according to all this vision
<02377>_,

so did Nathan
<05416>

speak
<01696> (8765)

unto David
<01732>_.

17:16

And David
<01732>

the king
<04428>

came
<0935> (8799)

and sat
<03427> (8799)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Who [am] I, O LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>_,

and what [is] mine house
<01004>_,

that thou hast brought
<0935> (8689)

me hitherto
<01988>_?

17:17

And [yet] this was a small thing
<06994> (8799)

in thine eyes
<05869>_,

O God
<0430>_;

for thou hast [also] spoken
<01696> (8762)

of thy servant's
<05650>

house
<01004>

for a great while to come
<07350>_,

and hast regarded
<07200> (8804)

me according to the estate
<08448>

of a man
<0120>

of high degree
<04609>_,

O LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>_.

17:18

What can
<03254> (0)

David
<01732>

[speak] more
<03254> (8686)

to thee for the honour
<03519>

of thy servant
<05650>_?

for thou knowest
<03045> (8804)

thy servant
<05650>_.

17:19

O LORD
<03068>_,

for thy servant's
<05650>

sake, and according to thine own heart
<03820>_,

hast thou done
<06213> (8804)

all this greatness
<01420>_,

in making known
<03045> (8687)

all [these] great things
<01420>_.

{great...: Heb. greatnesses}

17:20

O LORD
<03068>_,

[there is] none like thee, neither [is there any] God
<0430>

beside
<02108>

thee, according to all that we have heard
<08085> (8804)

with our ears
<0241>_.
