1 Chronicles 17:7

Compare all

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.

16 ^aThen King David went in and sat before the Lord; and he said: “Who am I, O Lord God? And what is my house, that You have brought me this far?
