1st Chronicles Chapter 17 - King James Strong Number Version

1: Now it came to pass, as David <H1732> sat <H3427> in his house, <H1004> that David <H1732> said <H0559> to Nathan <H5416> the prophet, <H5030> Lo, I dwell <H3427> in an house <H1004> of cedars, <H0730> but the ark <H0727> of the covenant <H1285> of the LORD <H3068> [remaineth] under curtains. <H3407>
2: Then Nathan <H5416> said <H0559> unto David, <H1732> Do <H6213> all that [is] in thine heart; <H3824> for God <H0430> [is] with thee.
3: And it came to pass the same night, <H3915> that the word <H1697> of God <H0430> came to Nathan, <H5416> saying, <H0559>
4: Go <H3212> and tell <H0559> David <H1732> my servant, <H5650> Thus saith <H0559> the LORD, <H3068> Thou shalt not build <H1129> me an house <H1004> to dwell in: <H3427>
5: For I have not dwelt <H3427> in an house <H1004> since the day <H3117> that I brought up <H5927> Israel <H3478> unto this day; <H3117> but have gone from tent <H0168> to tent, <H0168> and from [one] tabernacle <H4908> [to another].
6: Wheresoever I have walked <H1980> with all Israel, <H3478> spake <H1696> I a word <H1697> to any <H0259> of the judges <H8199> of Israel, <H3478> whom I commanded <H6680> to feed <H7462> my people, <H5971> saying, <H0559> Why have ye not built <H1129> me an house <H1004> of cedars? <H0730>
7: Now therefore thus shalt thou say <H0559> unto my servant <H5650> David, <H1732> Thus saith <H0559> the LORD <H3068> of hosts, <H6635> I took <H3947> thee from the sheepcote, <H5116> [even] from following <H0310> the sheep, <H6629> that thou shouldest be ruler <H5057> over my people <H5971> Israel: <H3478>
8: And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walked, <H1980> and have cut off <H3772> all thine enemies <H0341> from before <H6440> thee, and have made <H6213> thee a name <H8034> like the name <H8034> of the great men <H1419> that [are] in the earth. <H0776>
9: Also I will ordain <H7760> a place <H4725> for my people <H5971> Israel, <H3478> and will plant <H5193> them, and they shall dwell <H7931> in their place, and shall be moved <H7264> no more; neither shall the children <H1121> of wickedness <H5766> waste <H1086> them any more, <H3254> as at the beginning, <H7223>
10: And since the time <H3117> that I commanded <H6680> judges <H8199> [to be] over my people <H5971> Israel. <H3478> Moreover I will subdue <H3665> all thine enemies. <H0341> Furthermore I tell <H5046> thee that the LORD <H3068> will build <H1129> thee an house. <H1004>
11: And it shall come to pass, when thy days <H3117> be expired <H4390> that thou must go <H3212> [to be] with thy fathers, <H0001> that I will raise up <H6965> thy seed <H2233> after <H0310> thee, which shall be of thy sons; <H1121> and I will establish <H3559> his kingdom. <H4438>
12: He shall build <H1129> me an house, <H1004> and I will stablish <H3559> his throne <H3678> for <H5704> ever. <H5769>
13: I will be his father, <H0001> and he shall be my son: <H1121> and I will not take my mercy <H2617> away <H5493> from him, as I took <H5493> [it] from [him] that was before <H6440> thee:
14: But I will settle <H5975> him in mine house <H1004> and in my kingdom <H4438> for ever: <H5769> and his throne <H3678> shall be established <H3559> for <H5704> evermore. <H5769>
15: According to all these words, <H1697> and according to all this vision, <H2377> so did Nathan <H5416> speak <H1696> unto David. <H1732>
16: And David <H1732> the king <H4428> came <H0935> and sat <H3427> before <H6440> the LORD, <H3068> and said, <H0559> Who [am] I, O LORD <H3068> God, <H0430> and what [is] mine house, <H1004> that thou hast brought <H0935> me hitherto? <H1988>
17: And [yet] this was a small thing <H6994> in thine eyes, <H5869> O God; <H0430> for thou hast [also] spoken <H1696> of thy servant's <H5650> house <H1004> for a great while to come, <H7350> and hast regarded <H7200> me according to the estate <H8448> of a man <H0120> of high degree, <H4609> O LORD <H3068> God. <H0430>
18: What can David <H1732> [speak] more <H3254> to thee for the honour <H3519> of thy servant? <H5650> for thou knowest <H3045> thy servant. <H5650>
19: O LORD, <H3068> for thy servant's <H5650> sake, and according to thine own heart, <H3820> hast thou done <H6213> all this greatness, <H1420> in making known <H3045> all [these] great things. <H1420>
20: O LORD, <H3068> [there is] none like thee, neither [is there any] God <H0430> beside <H2108> thee, according to all that we have heard <H8085> with our ears. <H0241>
21: And what one <H0259> nation <H1471> in the earth <H0776> [is] like thy people <H5971> Israel, <H3478> whom God <H0430> went <H1980> to redeem <H6299> [to be] his own people, <H5971> to make <H7760> thee a name <H8034> of greatness <H1420> and terribleness, <H3372> by driving out <H1644> nations <H1471> from before <H6440> thy people, <H5971> whom thou hast redeemed <H6299> out of Egypt? <H4714>
22: For thy people <H5971> Israel <H3478> didst thou make <H5414> thine own people <H5971> for <H5704> ever; <H5769> and thou, LORD, <H3068> becamest their God. <H0430>
23: Therefore now, LORD, <H3068> let the thing <H1697> that thou hast spoken <H1696> concerning thy servant <H5650> and concerning his house <H1004> be established <H0539> for <H5704> ever, <H5769> and do <H6213> as thou hast said. <H1696>
24: Let it even be established, <H0539> that thy name <H8034> may be magnified <H1431> for <H5704> ever, <H5769> saying, <H0559> The LORD <H3068> of hosts <H6635> [is] the God <H0430> of Israel, <H3478> [even] a God <H0430> to Israel: <H3478> and [let] the house <H1004> of David <H1732> thy servant <H5650> [be] established <H3559> before <H6440> thee.
25: For thou, O my God, <H0430> hast told <H1540> <H0241> thy servant <H5650> that thou wilt build <H1129> him an house: <H1004> therefore thy servant <H5650> hath found <H4672> [in his heart] to pray <H6419> before <H6440> thee.
26: And now, LORD, <H3068> thou art God, <H0430> and hast promised <H1696> this goodness <H2896> unto thy servant: <H5650>
27: Now therefore let it please <H2974> thee to bless <H1288> the house <H1004> of thy servant, <H5650> that it may be before <H6440> thee for ever: <H5769> for thou blessest, <H1288> O LORD, <H3068> and [it shall be] blessed <H1288> for ever. <H5769>
