2nd Samuel Chapter 7 - King James Strong Number Version

1: And it came to pass, when the king <H4428> sat <H3427> in his house, <H1004> and the LORD <H3068> had given him rest <H5117> round about <H5439> from all his enemies; <H0341>
2: That the king <H4428> said <H0559> unto Nathan <H5416> the prophet, <H5030> See <H7200> now, I dwell <H3427> in an house <H1004> of cedar, <H0730> but the ark <H0727> of God <H0430> dwelleth <H3427> within <H8432> curtains. <H3407>
3: And Nathan <H5416> said <H0559> to the king, <H4428> Go, <H3212> do <H6213> all that [is] in thine heart; <H3824> for the LORD <H3068> [is] with thee.
4: And it came to pass that night, <H3915> that the word <H1697> of the LORD <H3068> came unto Nathan, <H5416> saying, <H0559>
5: Go <H3212> and tell <H0559> my servant <H5650> David, <H1732> Thus saith <H0559> the LORD, <H3068> Shalt thou build <H1129> me an house <H1004> for me to dwell in? <H3427>
6: Whereas I have not dwelt <H3427> in [any] house <H1004> since the time <H3117> that I brought up <H5927> the children <H1121> of Israel <H3478> out of Egypt, <H4714> even to this day, <H3117> but have walked <H1980> in a tent <H0168> and in a tabernacle. <H4908>
7: In all [the places] wherein I have walked <H1980> with all the children <H1121> of Israel <H3478> spake <H1696> I a word <H1697> with any <H0259> of the tribes <H7626> of Israel, <H3478> whom I commanded <H6680> to feed <H7462> my people <H5971> Israel, <H3478> saying, <H0559> Why build <H1129> ye not me an house <H1004> of cedar? <H0730>
8: Now therefore so 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> from following <H0310> the sheep, <H6629> to be ruler <H5057> over my people, <H5971> over Israel: <H3478>
9: And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, <H1980> and have cut off <H3772> all thine enemies <H0341> out of thy sight, <H6440> and have made <H6213> thee a great <H1419> name, <H8034> like unto the name <H8034> of the great <H1419> [men] that [are] in the earth. <H0776>
10: Moreover I will appoint <H7760> a place <H4725> for my people <H5971> Israel, <H3478> and will plant <H5193> them, that they may dwell <H7931> in a place of their own, and move <H7264> no more; neither shall the children <H1121> of wickedness <H5766> afflict <H6031> them any more, <H3254> as beforetime, <H7223>
11: And as since the time <H3117> that I commanded <H6680> judges <H8199> [to be] over my people <H5971> Israel, <H3478> and have caused thee to rest <H5117> from all thine enemies. <H0341> Also the LORD <H3068> telleth <H5046> thee that he <H3068> will make <H6213> thee an house. <H1004>
12: And when thy days <H3117> be fulfilled, <H4390> and thou shalt sleep <H7901> with thy fathers, <H0001> I will set up <H6965> thy seed <H2233> after <H0310> thee, which shall proceed <H3318> out of thy bowels, <H4578> and I will establish <H3559> his kingdom. <H4467>
13: He shall build <H1129> an house <H1004> for my name, <H8034> and I will stablish <H3559> the throne <H3678> of his kingdom <H4467> for <H5704> ever. <H5769>
14: I will be his father, <H0001> and he shall be my son. <H1121> If he commit iniquity, <H5753> I will chasten <H3198> him with the rod <H7626> of men, <H0582> and with the stripes <H5061> of the children <H1121> of men: <H0120>
15: But my mercy <H2617> shall not depart away <H5493> from him, as I took <H5493> [it] from Saul, <H7586> whom I put away <H5493> before <H6440> thee.
16: And thine house <H1004> and thy kingdom <H4467> shall be established <H0539> for <H5704> ever <H5769> before <H6440> thee: thy throne <H3678> shall be established <H3559> for <H5704> ever. <H5769>
17: According to all these words, <H1697> and according to all this vision, <H2384> so did Nathan <H5416> speak <H1696> unto David. <H1732>
18: Then went <H0935> king <H4428> David <H1732> in, and sat <H3427> before <H6440> the LORD, <H3068> and he said, <H0559> Who [am] I, O Lord <H0136> GOD? <H3069> and what [is] my house, <H1004> that thou hast brought <H0935> me hitherto? <H1988>
19: And this was yet a small thing <H6994> in thy sight, <H5869> O Lord <H0136> GOD; <H3069> but thou hast spoken <H1696> also of thy servant's <H5650> house <H1004> for a great while to come. <H7350> And [is] this the manner <H8452> of man, <H0120> O Lord <H0136> GOD? <H3069>
20: And what can David <H1732> say <H1696> more <H3254> unto thee? for thou, Lord <H0136> GOD, <H3069> knowest <H3045> thy servant. <H5650>
21: For thy word's <H1697> sake, and according to thine own heart, <H3820> hast thou done <H6213> all these great things, <H1420> to make thy servant <H5650> know <H3045> [them].
22: Wherefore thou art great, <H1431> O LORD <H3068> God: <H0430> for [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>
23: And what one <H0259> nation <H1471> in the earth <H0776> [is] like thy people, <H5971> [even] like Israel, <H3478> whom God <H0430> went <H1980> to redeem <H6299> for a people <H5971> to himself, and to make <H7760> him a name, <H8034> and to do <H6213> for you great things <H1420> and terrible, <H3372> for thy land, <H0776> before <H6440> thy people, <H5971> which thou redeemedst <H6299> to thee from Egypt, <H4714> [from] the nations <H1471> and their gods? <H0430>
24: For thou hast confirmed <H3559> to thyself thy people <H5971> Israel <H3478> [to be] a people <H5971> unto thee for <H5704> ever: <H5769> and thou, LORD, <H3068> art become <H1961> their God. <H0430>
25: And now, O LORD <H3068> God, <H0430> the word <H1697> that thou hast spoken <H1696> concerning thy servant, <H5650> and concerning his house, <H1004> establish <H6965> [it] for <H5704> ever, <H5769> and do <H6213> as thou hast said. <H1696>
26: And let thy name <H8034> be magnified <H1431> for <H5704> ever, <H5769> saying, <H0559> The LORD <H3068> of hosts <H6635> [is] the God <H0430> over Israel: <H3478> and let the house <H1004> of thy servant <H5650> David <H1732> be established <H3559> before <H6440> thee.
27: For thou, O LORD <H3068> of hosts, <H6635> God <H0430> of Israel, <H3478> hast revealed <H1540> <H0241> to thy servant, <H5650> saying, <H0559> I will build <H1129> thee an house: <H1004> therefore hath thy servant <H5650> found <H4672> in his heart <H3820> to pray <H6419> this prayer <H8605> unto thee.
28: And now, O Lord <H0136> GOD, <H3069> thou [art] that God, <H0430> and thy words <H1697> be true, <H0571> and thou hast promised <H1696> this goodness <H2896> unto thy servant: <H5650>
29: Therefore now let it please <H2974> thee to bless <H1288> the house <H1004> of thy servant, <H5650> that it may continue for ever <H5769> before <H6440> thee: for thou, O Lord <H0136> GOD, <H3069> hast spoken <H1696> [it]: and with thy blessing <H1293> let the house <H1004> of thy servant <H5650> be blessed <H1288> for ever. <H5769>
