1And it came to passas David dwelt in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Behold, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of the Lord [is] under [curtains] of skins.
1Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in an house of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of the Lord remaineth under curtains.
2And Nathan said to David, Do all that is in thy heart; for God [is] with thee.
2Then Nathan said unto David, Do all that is in thine heart; for God is with thee.

3And it came to pass the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
4Go and say to David my servant, Thus said the Lord, Thou shalt not build me a house for me to dwell in it.
4Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith the Lord, Thou shalt not build me an house to dwell in:
5For I have not dwelt in a house from the day that I brought up Israel until this day, but I have been in a tabernacle and a tent ,
5For I have not dwelt in an house since the day that I brought up Israel unto this day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.
6in all places through which I have gone with all Israel: did I ever speak to [any] one tribe of Israelwhom I commanded to feed my people, saying, [Why is it] that ye have not built me a house of cedar?
6Wheresoever I have walked with all Israel, spake I a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have ye not built me an house of cedars?
7And now thus shalt thou say to my servant David, Thus saith the Lord Almighty, I took thee from the sheepfold, from following the flocks, to be a ruler over my people Israel:
7Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, even from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be ruler over my people Israel:
8and I was with thee in all places whither thou wentest, and I destroyed all thine enemies from before thee, and I made for thee a name according to the name of the great ones that are upon the earth.
8And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name like the name of the great men that are in the earth.
9And I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and I will plant him, and he shall dwell by himself, and shall no longer be anxious; and the son of iniquity shall no longer afflict him, as at the beginning,
9Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning,
10and from the days when I appointed judges over my people Israel. Also I have humbled all thine enemies, and I will increase thee, and the Lord will build thee a house.
10And since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Moreover I will subdue all thine enemies. Furthermore I tell thee that the Lord will build thee an house.
11And it shall come to passwhen thy days shall be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
11And it shall come to pass, when thy days be expired that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom.
12He shall build me a house, and I will set up his throne for ever.
12He shall build me an house, and I will stablish his throne for ever.
13I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son: and my mercy will I not withdraw from him, as I withdrew [it] from them that were before thee.
13I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee:
14And I will establish him in my house and in his kingdom for ever; and his throne shall be set up for ever.
14But I will settle him in mine house and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for evermore.

16And king David came and sat before the Lord, and said, Who am I, O Lord God? and what [is] my house, that thou hast loved me for ever?
16And David the king came and sat before the Lord, and said, Who am I, O Lord God, and what is mine house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
17And these things were little in thy sight, O God: thou hast also spoken concerning the house of thy servantfor a long time to come, and thou hast looked upon me as a man looks upon his fellow, and hast exalted me, O Lord God.
17And yet this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God; for thou hast also spoken of thy servant’s house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O Lord God.
18What shall David do more toward thee to glorify [thee]? and thou knowest thy servant.
18What can David speak more to thee for the honour of thy servant? for thou knowest thy servant.
19And thou hast wrought all this greatness according to thine heart.
19O Lord, for thy servant’s sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, in making known all these great things.
20O Lord, there is none like thee, and there is no God beside thee, according to all things which we have heard with our ears.

21Neither is there another nation upon the earth [such] as thy people Israel, whereas God led him in the way, to redeem a people for himself, to make for himself a great and glorious name , to cast out nations from before thy people, whom thou redeemedst out of Egypt.
21And what one nation in the earth is like thy people Israel, whom God went to redeem to be his own people, to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people, whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt?
22And thou hast appointed thy people Israel as a people to thyself for ever; and thou, Lord, didst become a God to them.
22For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people for ever; and thou, Lord, becamest their God.
23And now, Lord, let the word which thou spokest to thy servant, and concerning his house, be confirmed for ever, and do thou as thou hast spoken.
23Therefore now, Lord, let the thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as thou hast said.
24And let thy name [be] established and magnified for ever, [men] saying, Lord, Lord, Almighty God of Israel: and [let] the house of thy servant David [be] established before thee.
24Let it even be established, that thy name may be magnified for ever, saying, The Lord of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: and let the house of David thy servant be established before thee.
25For thou, O Lord my God, hast revealed to the ear of thy servant that thou wilt build him a house; therefore thy servant has found a willingness to pray before thee.
25For thou, O my God, hast told thy servant that thou wilt build him an house: therefore thy servant hath found in his heart to pray before thee.
26And now, Lord, thou thyself art God, and thou hast spoken these good things concerning thy servant.
26And now, Lord, thou art God, and hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:
27And now thou hast begun to bless the house of thy servant, so that it should continue for ever before thee : for thou , Lord, hast blessed [it], and do thou bless [it] for ever.
27Now therefore let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever: for thou blessest, O Lord, and it shall be blessed for ever.
