2 Samuel 7:1-17

1And it happened, when the king lived in his house and YHWH had given him rest from all his enemies all around, 2that the king said to Nathan the prophet, “See, please: I live in a house of cedar, but the ark of Elohim remains inside the curtain.” 3Nathan said to the king, “All that is in your heart, go, do it, for YHWH is with you.” 4And it happened that night that the word of YHWH came to Nathan, saying, 5“Go and say to my servant, to David, ‘Thus says YHWH: Will you build me a house for me to live in? 6For I have not lived in a house from the day I brought up the sons of Israel from Egypt to this day, but I have been moving about in a tent and in a dwelling. 7Wherever I have moved about among all the sons of Israel, did I speak a word with one of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd my people Israel, saying, “Why have you not built me a house of cedar?”’ 8And now, thus you shall say to my servant, to David, ‘Thus says YHWH Tsevaot: I took you from the pasture, from following the flock, to be leader over my people, over Israel. 9And I have been with you wherever you went, and I have cut off all your enemies from before you; and I will make for you a great name, like the name of the great ones who are on the earth. 10And I will appoint a place for my people, for Israel, and I will plant them, and they will dwell in their own place and will tremble no more; and unjust men will not again afflict them as at the beginning, 11even from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel; and I will give you rest from all your enemies. And YHWH declares to you that YHWH will make a house for you. 12When your days are fulfilled and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, who will come out from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. 13He will build a house for my name, and I will make firm the throne of his kingdom forever. 14I will be to him a father, and he will be to me a son. When he commits iniquity, I will rebuke him with the rod of men and with the blows of human beings, 15but my loyal love will not depart from him, as I took it away from Saul, whom I took away from before you. 16And your house and your kingdom will be firm forever before you; your throne will be established forever.’” 17In accordance with all these words and in accordance with all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.

1 Chronicles 17:1-15

1And it happened, when David lived in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, “Look, I live in the house of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of YHWH is under curtains.” 2Nathan said to David, “All that is in your heart, do it, for Elohim is with you.” 3And it happened that night that the word of Elohim came to Nathan, saying, 4“Go and say to David my servant, ‘Thus says YHWH: It is not you who will build me the house to live in. 5For I have not lived in a house from the day that I brought up Israel to this day, but I have been from tent to tent and from dwelling to dwelling. 6Wherever I have moved about among all Israel, did I speak a word with one of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd my people, saying, “Why have you not built me a house of cedars?”’ 7And now, thus you shall say to my servant, to David, ‘Thus says YHWH Tsevaot: I took you from the pasture, from following the flock, to be leader over my people Israel. 8And I have been with you wherever you went, and I have cut off all your enemies from before you; and I will make for you a name like the name of the great ones who are on the earth. 9And I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and I will plant them, and they will dwell in their own place and will tremble no more; and unjust men will not again consume them as at the beginning, 10and from the days that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel; and I will subdue all your enemies. And I declare to you that YHWH will build a house for you. 11And it will be, when your days are fulfilled to go with your fathers, that I will raise up your offspring after you, one who will be of your sons, and I will establish his kingdom. 12He will build a house for me, and I will make firm his throne forever. 13I will be to him a father, and he will be to me a son; and my loyal love I will not take away from him, as I took it away from him who was before you. 14And I will set him in my house and in my kingdom forever, and his throne will be established forever.’” 15In accordance with all these words and in accordance with all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.
