1And it came to passwhen the king sat in his house, and the Lord had given him an inheritance on every side [free] from all his enemies round about him;
1And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the Lord had given him rest round about from all his enemies;
2that the king said to Nathan the prophet, Behold now, I live in a house of cedar, and the ark of the Lord dwells in the midst of a tent.
2That the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains.
3And Nathan said to the king, Go and do all that [is] in thine heart, for the Lord [is] with thee.
3And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thine heart; for the Lord is with thee.
4And it came to pass in that night, that the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying,
4And it came to pass that night, that the word of the Lord came unto Nathan, saying,
5Go, and say to my servant David, Thus says the Lord, Thou shalt not build me a house for me to dwell in.
5Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the Lord, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in?
6For I have not dwelt in a house from the day that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egyptto this day, but I have been walking in a lodge and in a tent,
6Whereas I have not dwelt in any house since the time that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle.
7wheresoever I went with all Israel. Have I ever spoken to any of the tribes of Israel, which I commanded to tend my people Israel, saying, Why have ye not built me a house of cedar?
7In all the places wherein I have walked with all the children of Israel spake I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why build ye not me an house of cedar?
8And now thus shalt thou say to my servant David, Thus says the Lord Almighty, I took thee from the sheep-cote, that thou shouldest be a prince over my people, over Israel.
8Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel:
9And I was with thee wheresoever thou wentest, and I destroyed all thine enemies before thee, and I made thee renowned according to the renown of the great ones on the earth.
9And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies out of thy sight, and have made thee a great name, like unto the name of the great men that are in the earth.
10And I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell by themselves, and shall be no more distressed; and the son of iniquity shall no more afflict them , as he [has done] from the beginning,
10Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime,
11from the days when I appointed judges over my people Israel: and I will give thee rest from all thine enemies, and the Lord will tell thee that thou shalt build a house to him.
11And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also the Lord telleth thee that he will make thee an house.
12And it shall come to pass when thy days shall have been fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, even thine own issue, and I will establish his kingdom.
12And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
13He shall build for me a house to my name, and I will set up his throne even for ever.
13He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.
14I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son. And when he happens to transgress, then will I chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the sons of men.
14I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men:
15But my mercy I will not take from him, as I took it from those whom I removed from my presence.
15But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.
16And his house shall be made sure, and his kingdom for ever before me, and his throne shall be set up for ever.
16And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.

19Whereas I was very little before thee, O Lord, my Lord, yet thou spokest concerning the house of thy servantfor a long time [to come]. And [is] this the law of man, O Lord, my Lord?
19And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord God; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant’s house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of man, O Lord God?

21For thy word’s sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all these great things, to make thy servant know them.
22that he may magnify thee, O my Lord; for there is no one like thee, and there is no God but thou among all of whom we have heard with our ears.
22Wherefore thou art great, O Lord God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
23And what other nation in the earth [is] as thy peopleIsrael? whereas God was his guide, to redeem for himself a people to make thee a name, to do mightily and nobly, so that thou shouldest cast out nations and [their] tabernacles from the presence of thy people, whom thou didst redeem for thyself out of Egypt?
23And what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee from Egypt, from the nations and their gods?
24And thou hast prepared for thyself thy people Israel to be a people for ever, and thou, Lord, art become their God.
24For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever: and thou, Lord, art become their God.
25And now, O my Lord, the Almighty Lord God of Israel, confirm the word for ever which thou hast spoken concerning thy servantand his house: and now as thou hast said,
25And now, O Lord God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, establish it for ever, and do as thou hast said.
26Let thy name be magnified for ever.
26And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, The Lord of hosts is the God over Israel: and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee.
27Almighty Lord God of Israel, thou hast uncovered the ear of thy servant, saying, I will build thee a house: therefore thy servant has found [in] his heart to pray this prayer to thee.
27For thou, O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee.
28And now, O Lord my Lord, thou art God; and thy words will be true, and thou hast spoken these good things concerning thy servant.
28And now, O Lord God, thou art that God, and thy words be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:
29And now begin and bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee; for thou, O Lord , my Lord, hast spoken, and the house of thy servant shall be blessed with thy blessing so as to continue for ever.
29Therefore now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee: for thou, O Lord God, hast spoken it: and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.
