2 Samuel 7:1-25

7:1

And it came to pass, when the king
<04428>

sat
<03427> (8804)

in his house
<01004>_,

and the LORD
<03068>

had given him rest
<05117> (8689)

round about
<05439>

from all his enemies
<0341> (8802)_;

7:2

That the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Nathan
<05416>

the prophet
<05030>_,

See
<07200> (8798)

now, I dwell
<03427> (8802)

in an house
<01004>

of cedar
<0730>_,

but the ark
<0727>

of God
<0430>

dwelleth
<03427> (8802)

within
<08432>

curtains
<03407>_.

7:3

And Nathan
<05416>

said
<0559> (8799)

to the king
<04428>_,

Go
<03212> (8798)_,

do
<06213> (8798)

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

for the LORD
<03068>

[is] with thee.

7:4

And it came to pass that night
<03915>_,

that the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came unto Nathan
<05416>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

7:5

Go
<03212> (8798)

and tell
<0559> (8804)

my servant
<05650>

David
<01732>_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Shalt thou build
<01129> (8799)

me an house
<01004>

for me to dwell in
<03427> (8800)_?

{my servant...: Heb. to my servant, to David}

7:6

Whereas I have not dwelt
<03427> (8804)

in [any] house
<01004>

since the time
<03117>

that I brought up
<05927> (8687)

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

out of Egypt
<04714>_,

even to this day
<03117>_,

but have walked
<01980> (8693)

in a tent
<0168>

and in a tabernacle
<04908>_.

7:7

In all [the places] wherein I have walked
<01980> (8694)

with all the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

spake
<01696> (8765)

I a word
<01697>

with any
<0259>

of the tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>_,

whom I commanded
<06680> (8765)

to feed
<07462> (8800)

my people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Why build
<01129> (8804)

ye not me an house
<01004>

of cedar
<0730>_?

{any of...: any of the judges}

7:8

Now therefore so 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>_,

from following
<0310>

the sheep
<06629>_,

to be ruler
<05057>

over my people
<05971>_,

over Israel
<03478>_:

{from following: Heb. from after}

7:9

And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest
<01980> (8804)_,

and have cut off
<03772> (8686)

all thine enemies
<0341> (8802)

out of thy sight
<06440>_,

and have made
<06213> (8804)

thee a great
<01419>

name
<08034>_,

like unto the name
<08034>

of the great
<01419>

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

{out of...: Heb. from thy face}

7:10

Moreover I will appoint
<07760> (8804)

a place
<04725>

for my people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_,

and will plant
<05193> (8804)

them, that they may dwell
<07931> (8804)

in a place of their own, and move
<07264> (8799)

no more; neither shall the children
<01121>

of wickedness
<05766>

afflict
<06031> (8763)

them any more
<03254> (8686)_,

as beforetime
<07223>_,

7:11

And as since the time
<03117>

that I commanded
<06680> (8765)

judges
<08199> (8802)

[to be] over my people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_,

and have caused thee to rest
<05117> (8689)

from all thine enemies
<0341> (8802)_.

Also the LORD
<03068>

telleth
<05046> (8689)

thee that he will make
<06213> (8799)

thee an house
<01004>_.

7:12

And when thy days
<03117>

be fulfilled
<04390> (8799)_,

and thou shalt sleep
<07901> (8804)

with thy fathers
<01>_,

I will set up
<06965> (8689)

thy seed
<02233>

after
<0310>

thee, which shall proceed
<03318> (8799)

out of thy bowels
<04578>_,

and I will establish
<03559> (8689)

his kingdom
<04467>_.

7:13

He shall build
<01129> (8799)

an house
<01004>

for my name
<08034>_,

and I will stablish
<03559> (8790)

the throne
<03678>

of his kingdom
<04467>

for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_.

7:14

I will be his father
<01>_,

and he shall be my son
<01121>_.

If he commit iniquity
<05753> (8687)_,

I will chasten
<03198> (8689)

him with the rod
<07626>

of men
<0582>_,

and with the stripes
<05061>

of the children
<01121>

of men
<0120>_:

7:15

But my mercy
<02617>

shall not depart away
<05493> (8799)

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

[it] from Saul
<07586>_,

whom I put away
<05493> (8689)

before
<06440>

thee.

7:16

And thine house
<01004>

and thy kingdom
<04467>

shall be established
<0539> (8738)

for
<05704>

ever
<05769>

before
<06440>

thee: thy throne
<03678>

shall be established
<03559> (8737)

for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_.

7:17

According to all these words
<01697>_,

and according to all this vision
<02384>_,

so did Nathan
<05416>

speak
<01696> (8765)

unto David
<01732>_.

7:18

Then went
<0935> (8799)

king
<04428>

David
<01732>

in, and sat
<03427> (8799)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_,

and he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Who [am] I, O Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_?

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

that thou hast brought
<0935> (8689)

me hitherto
<01988>_?

7:19

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

in thy sight
<05869>_,

O Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

but thou hast spoken
<01696> (8762)

also of thy servant's
<05650>

house
<01004>

for a great while to come
<07350>_.

And [is] this the manner
<08452>

of man
<0120>_,

O Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_?

{manner: Heb. law}

7:20

And what can
<03254> (0)

David
<01732>

say
<01696> (8763)

more
<03254> (8686)

unto thee? for thou, Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_,

knowest
<03045> (8804)

thy servant
<05650>_.

7:21

For thy word's
<01697>

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

hast thou done
<06213> (8804)

all these great things
<01420>_,

to make thy servant
<05650>

know
<03045> (8687)

[them].

7:22

Wherefore thou art great
<01431> (8804)_,

O LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>_:

for [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>_.

7:23

And what one
<0259>

nation
<01471>

in the earth
<0776>

[is] like thy people
<05971>_,

[even] like Israel
<03478>_,

whom God
<0430>

went
<01980> (8804)

to redeem
<06299> (8800)

for a people
<05971>

to himself, and to make
<07760> (8800)

him a name
<08034>_,

and to do
<06213> (8800)

for you great things
<01420>

and terrible
<03372> (8737)_,

for thy land
<0776>_,

before
<06440>

thy people
<05971>_,

which thou redeemedst
<06299> (8804)

to thee from Egypt
<04714>_,

[from] the nations
<01471>

and their gods
<0430>_?

7:24

For thou hast confirmed
<03559> (8787)

to thyself thy people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>

[to be] a people
<05971>

unto thee for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_:

and thou, LORD
<03068>_,

art become
<01961> (8804)

their God
<0430>_.

7:25

And now, O LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>_,

the word
<01697>

that thou hast spoken
<01696> (8765)

concerning thy servant
<05650>_,

and concerning his house
<01004>_,

establish
<06965> (8685)

[it] for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_,

and do
<06213> (8798)

as thou hast said
<01696> (8765)_.
