3 Then Nathan said to the king, “Go, do all that is in your aheart, for the Lord is with you.”
4 But it happened that night that the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying,
5 “Go and tell My servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord: a“Would you build a house for Me to dwell in?
6 For I have not dwelt in a house asince the time that I brought the children of Israel up from Egypt, even to this day, but have moved about in ba tent and in a tabernacle.
7 Wherever I have amoved about with all the children of Israel, have I ever spoken a word to anyone from the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded bto shepherd My people Israel, saying, ‘Why have you not built Me a house of cedar?’ ” ’
8 Now therefore, thus shall you say to My servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: a“I took you from the sheepfold, from following the sheep, to be ruler over My people, over Israel.
9 And aI have been with you wherever you have gone, band have cut off all your enemies from before you, and have made you a great name, like the name of the great men who are on the earth.
