13:016:036 Blessed be the lord God of Israel
for ever and ever. And all
the
people said, Amen, and praised the lord.
13:016:037 So he left there before the ark of the
covenant of the lord
Asaph
and his brethren, to minister before the ark
continually,
as every day’s work required:
13:016:038 And Obededom with their brethren, threescore
and eight;
Obededom
also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be porters:
13:016:039 And Zadok the priest, and his brethren
the priests, before the
tabernacle
of the lord in the high place that was at Gibeon,
13:016:040 To offer burnt offerings unto the lord
upon the altar of the
burnt
offering continually morning and evening, and to do
according
to all that is written in the law of the lord,
which
he
commanded Israel;
13:016:041 And with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the
rest that were
chosen,
who were expressed by name, to give thanks to the
lord,
because his mercy endureth for ever;
13:016:042 And with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets
and cymbals for
those
that should make a sound, and with musical instruments
of
God. And the sons of Jeduthun were porters.
13:016:043 And all the people departed every man to
his house: and David
returned
to bless his house.
13:017:001 Now 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.
13:017:002 Then Nathan said unto David, Do all that
is in thine heart;
for
God is with thee.
13:017:003 And it came to pass the same night, that
the word of God came
to
Nathan, saying,
13:017:004 Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith
the lord, Thou shalt
not
build me an house to dwell in:
13:017:005 For 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.
13:017:006 Wheresoever 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?
13:017:007 Now 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:
13:017:008 And 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.
