God’s Covenant with David

1 Now ait came to pass, when David was dwelling in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, “See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of the Lord is under tent curtains.”  
2 Then Nathan said to David, “Do all that is in your heart, for God is with you.”
3 But it happened that night that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
4 “Go and tell My servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord: “You shall anot build Me a house to dwell in.  
5 For I have not dwelt in a house since the time that I brought up Israel, even to this day, but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.
6 Wherever I have moved about with all Israel, have I ever spoken a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd My people, saying, ‘Why have you not built Me a house of cedar–’ ” ’
7 Now therefore, thus shall you say to My servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: “I took you afrom the sheepfold, from following the sheep, to be1 ruler over My people Israel.  
8 And I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you, and have1 made you a name like the name of the great men who are on the earth.  
9 Moreover I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will aplant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own and move no more; nor shall the sons of wickedness oppress them anymore, as previously,  
10 since the time that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel. Also I will subdue all your enemies. Furthermore I tell you that the Lord will build you a1 house.  
11 And it shall be, when your days are afulfilled, when you must go to be with your fathers, that I will set up your bseed after you, who will be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom.  
12 aHe shall build Me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.  
13 aI will be his Father, and he shall be My son; and I will not take My mercy away from him, bas I took it from him who was before you.  
14 And aI will establish him in My house and in My kingdom forever; and his throne shall be established forever.” ’ ”  
15 According to all these words and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.
