10:007:007 In 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?
10:007:008 Now 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:
10:007:009 And 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.
10:007:010 Moreover 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,
10:007:011 And 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.
10:007:012 And 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.
10:007:013 He shall build an house for my name, and
I will stablish the
throne
of his kingdom for ever.
10:007:014 I 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:
10:007:015 But my mercy shall not depart away from
him, as I took it from
Saul,
whom I put away before thee.
10:007:016 And thine house and thy kingdom shall be
established for ever
before
thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.
10:007:017 According to all these words, and according
to all this
vision,
so did Nathan speak unto David.
10:007:018 Then went king David in, and sat before
the lord, and he said,
Who
am I, O Lord god? and what is my house, that thou
hast
brought
me hitherto?
10:007:019 And 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?
10:007:020 And what can David say more unto thee?
for thou, Lord god,
knowest
thy servant.
10:007:021 For thy word’s sake, and according
to thine own heart, hast
thou
done all these great things, to make thy servant know
them.
