Now it came H1961 to pass, as David H1732 sat H3427 in his house, H1004 that David H1732 said H559 to Nathan H5416 the prophet, H5030 See, H2009 I dwell H3427 in an house H1004 of cedars, H730 but the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the LORD H3068 remains under H8478 curtains. H3407

And it came H1961 to pass the same H1931 night, H3915 that the word H1697 of God H430 came H1961 to Nathan, H5416 saying, H559

For I have not dwelled H3427 in an house H1004 since H4480 the day H3117 that I brought H5927 up Israel H3478 to this H2088 day; H3117 but have gone H1961 from tent H168 to tent, H168 and from one tabernacle H4908 to another.

Now H6258 therefore thus H3541 shall you say H559 to my servant H5650 David, H1732 Thus H3541 said H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 I took H3947 you from the sheepcote, H5116 even from following H310 the sheep, H6629 that you should be ruler H5057 over H5921 my people H5971 Israel: H3478

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, H8478 and shall be moved H7264 no H3808 more; H5750 neither H3808 shall the children H1121 of wickedness H5766 waste H1086 them any more, H3254 as at the beginning, H7223

And it shall come H1961 to pass, when H3588 your days H3117 be expired H4390 that you must go H3212 to be with your fathers, H1 that I will raise H6965 up your seed H2233 after H310 you, which H834 shall be of your sons; H1121 and I will establish H3559 his kingdom. H4438

I will be his father, H25 and he shall be my son: H1121 and I will not take H5493 my mercy H2617 away H5493 from him, as I took H5493 it from him that was before H6440 you:

According to all H3605 these H428 words, H1697 and according to all H3605 this H2088 vision, H2377 so H3651 did Nathan H5416 speak H1696 to David. H1732

Then David H1732 the king H4428 stood H6965 up on his feet, H7272 and said, H559 Hear H8085 me, my brothers, H251 and my people: H5971 As for me, I had in my heart H3824 to build H1129 an house H1004 of rest H4496 for the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the LORD, H3068 and for the footstool H1916 H7272 of our God, H430 and had made ready H3559 for the building: H1129

However, the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 chose H977 me before all H3605 the house H1004 of my father H25 to be king H4428 over H5921 Israel H3478 for ever: H5769 for he has chosen H977 Judah H3063 to be the ruler; H5057 and of the house H1004 of Judah, H3063 the house H1004 of my father; H25 and among the sons H1121 of my father H25 he liked H7521 me to make me king H4427 over H5921 all H3605 Israel: H3478

And he said H559 to me, Solomon H8010 your son, H1121 he shall build H1129 my house H1004 and my courts: H2691 for I have chosen H977 him to be my son, H1121 and I will be his father. H25

Now H6258 therefore in the sight H5869 of all H3605 Israel H3478 the congregation H6951 of the LORD, H3068 and in the audience H241 of our God, H430 keep H8104 and seek H1875 for all H3605 the commandments H4687 of the LORD H3068 your God: H430 that you may possess H3423 this good H2896 land, H776 and leave H5157 it for an inheritance H5157 for your children H1121 after H310 you for ever. H5769

Take H7200 heed H7200 now; H6258 for the LORD H3068 has chosen H977 you to build H1129 an house H1004 for the sanctuary: H4720 be strong, H2388 and do H6213 it.

And the pattern H8403 of all H3605 that he had by the spirit, H7307 of the courts H2691 of the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068 and of all H3605 the chambers H3957 round H5439 about, of the treasuries H214 of the house H1004 of God, H430 and of the treasuries H214 of the dedicated H6944 things:

He gave of gold H2091 by weight H4948 for things of gold, H2091 for all H3605 instruments H3627 of all H3605 manner of service; H5656 silver also for all H3605 instruments H3627 of silver H3701 by weight, H4948 for all H3605 instruments H3627 of every H3605 kind of service: H5656

And by weight H4948 he gave gold H2091 for the tables H7979 of show bread, H4635 for every table; H7979 and likewise silver H3701 for the tables H7979 of silver: H3701

And for the altar H4196 of incense H7004 refined H2212 gold H2091 by weight; H4948 and gold H2091 for the pattern H8403 of the chariot H4818 of the cherubim, H3742 that spread H6566 out their wings, and covered H5526 the ark H727 of the covenant of the LORD. H3068

And David H1732 said H559 to Solomon H8010 his son, H1121 Be strong H2388 and of good courage, H553 and do H6213 it: fear H3372 not, nor H408 be dismayed: H2865 for the LORD H3068 God, H430 even my God, H430 will be with you; he will not fail H7503 you, nor H3808 forsake H5800 you, until H5704 you have finished H3615 all H3605 the work H4399 for the service H5656 of the house H1004 of the LORD. H3068

Moreover, H5750 because I have set my affection H7521 to the house H1004 of my God, H430 I have H3426 of my own proper H5459 good, of gold H2091 and silver, H3701 which I have given H5414 to the house H1004 of my God, H430 over H5921 and above H4605 all H3605 that I have prepared H3559 for the holy H6944 house. H1004

That the king H4428 said H559 to Nathan H5416 the prophet, H5030 See H7200 now, H4994 I dwell H3427 in an house H1004 of cedar, H730 but the ark H727 of God H430 dwells H3427 within H8432 curtains. H3407

And it was in the heart H3824 of David H1732 my father H1 to build H1129 an house H1004 for the name H8034 of the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel. H3478

Nevertheless H7535 you shall not build H1129 the house; H1004 but your son H1121 that shall come H3318 forth H3318 out of your loins, H2504 he shall build H1129 the house H1004 to my name. H8034

Now it was in the heart H3824 of David H1732 my father H25 to build H1129 an house H1004 for the name H8034 of the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel. H3478

Notwithstanding H7535 you shall not build H1129 the house; H1004 but your son H1121 which shall come H3318 forth H3318 out of your loins, H2504 he shall build H1129 the house H1004 for my name. H8034

Until H5704 I find H4672 out a place H4725 for the LORD, H3068 an habitation H4908 for the mighty H46 God of Jacob. H3290

But to the place H4725 which H834 the LORD H3068 your God H430 shall choose H977 out of all H3605 your tribes H7626 to put H7760 his name H8034 there, H8033 even to his habitation H7933 shall you seek, H1875 and thither H8033 you shall come: H935

Then there shall be a place H4725 which H834 the LORD H3068 your God H430 shall choose H977 to cause his name H8034 to dwell H7931 there; H8033 thither H8033 shall you bring H935 all H3605 that I command H6680 you; your burnt H5930 offerings, and your sacrifices, H2077 your tithes, H4643 and the heave H8641 offering H8641 of your hand, H3027 and all H3605 your choice H4005 vows H5088 which H834 you vow H5087 to the LORD: H3068

If H3588 the place H4725 which H834 the LORD H3068 your God H430 has chosen H977 to put H7760 his name H8034 there H8033 be too H7368 far H7368 from you, then you shall kill H2076 of your herd H1241 and of your flock, H6629 which H834 the LORD H3068 has given H5414 you, as I have commanded H6680 you, and you shall eat H398 in your gates H8179 whatever H3605 your soul H5315 lusts H183 after.

Since H4480 the day H3117 that I brought H3318 forth H3318 my people H5971 Israel H3478 out of Egypt, H4714 I chose H977 no H3808 city H5892 out of all H3605 the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 to build H1129 an house, H1004 that my name H8034 might be therein; H8033 but I chose H977 David H1732 to be over H5921 my people H5971 Israel. H3478

And the LORD H3068 has performed H6965 his word H1697 that he spoke, H1696 and I am risen H6965 up in the room H8478 of David H1732 my father, H1 and sit H3427 on H5921 the throne H3678 of Israel, H3478 as the LORD H3068 promised, H1696 and have built H1129 an house H1004 for the name H8034 of the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel. H3478

That your eyes H5869 may be open H6605 toward H413 this H2088 house H1004 night H3915 and day, H3117 even toward H413 the place H4725 of which H834 you have said, H559 My name H8034 shall be there: H8033 that you may listen H8085 to the prayer H8605 which H834 your servant H5650 shall make toward H413 this H2088 place. H4725

And the LORD H3068 said H559 to him, I have heard H8085 your prayer H8605 and your supplication, H8467 that you have made before H6440 me: I have hallowed H6942 this H2088 house, H1004 which H834 you have built, H1129 to put H7760 my name H8034 there H8033 for ever; H5769 and my eyes H5869 and my heart H3824 shall be there H8033 perpetually. H3605 H3117

Behold, H2009 I build H1129 an house H1004 to the name H8034 of the LORD H3068 my God, H430 to dedicate H6942 it to him, and to burn H6999 before H6440 him sweet H5561 incense, H7004 and for the continual H8548 show bread, H4635 and for the burnt H5930 offerings morning H1242 and evening, H6153 on the sabbaths, H7676 and on the new H2320 moons, H2320 and on the solemn H4150 feasts H4150 of the LORD H3068 our God. H430 This H2063 is an ordinance for ever H5769 to Israel. H3478

And the God H426 that has caused his name H8036 to dwell H7932 there H8536 destroy H4049 all H3606 kings H4430 and people, H5972 that shall put H7972 to their hand H3028 to alter H8133 and to destroy H2255 this H1791 house H1005 of God H426 which H1768 is at Jerusalem. H3390 I Darius H1868 have made H7761 a decree; H2942 let it be done H5648 with speed. H629
