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 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, do all that is in thine heart; for the Lord is with thee.
4¶ And it came to pass that night, that the word of the Lord came unto Nathan, saying,
5Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the Lord, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in?
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.
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?
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 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.
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,
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.
12¶ 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.
13He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.
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 shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.
16And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.
17According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.
18¶ 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?
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?
20And what can David say more unto thee? for thou, Lord God, knowest thy servant.
21For thy word’s sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all these great things, to make thy servant know them.
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 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?
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 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.
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.
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 God, thou art that God, and thy words be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:
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.
1¶ And it came to passe, *when the King sate in his house, and the LORD had giuen him rest round about frō all his enemies;
2That the king said vnto Nathan the Prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of Cedar, but the Arke of God dwelleth within curtaines.
3And Nathan sayde to the King, Go, doe all that is in thine heart: for the LORD is with thee.
4¶ And it came to passe that night, that the word of the LORD came vnto Nathan, saying;
5Goe and tell †my seruant Dauid, Thus sayth the LORD, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in?
6Whereas I haue not dwelt in any house, since the time that I brought vp the children of Israel out of Egypt, euen to this day, but haue walked in a tent and in a tabernacle.
7In all the places wherein I haue walked with all the children of Israel, spake I a word with †any of the tribes of Israel, whome I commanded to feede my people Israel, saying, Why build ye not me an house of Cedar?

9And I was with thee withersoeuer thou wentest, and haue cut off all thine enemies †out of thy sight, and haue made thee a great name, like vnto the name of the great men that are in the earth.
10(Moreouer I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their owne, and mooue no more: neither shall the children of wickednesse afflict them any more, as beforetime,
11And as since the time that I commanded Iudges to bee ouer my people Israel, and haue caused thee to rest from all thine enemies:) Also the LORD telleth thee, that he will make thee an house.
12¶ And *when thy dayes be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleepe with thy fathers, I will set vp thy seede after thee, which shall proceede out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdome.
13*Hee shall build an house for my Name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdome for euer.
14*I will be his father, and he shall be my sonne: *if hee commit iniquitie, I will chasten him with the rodde of men, and with the stripes of the children of men.
15But my mercie shall not depart away from him, as I tooke it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.
16And thine house, and thy kingdome shall be stablished for euer before thee: thy throne shall be stablished for euer.
17According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speake vnto Dauid.
18¶ Then went king Dauid in, and sate before the LORD, and hee said, Who am I, O LORD God? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
19And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O LORD God: but thou hast spoken also of thy seruants house for a great while to come, and is this the †maner of man, O LORD God?
20And what can Dauid say more vnto thee? for thou, LORD God, knowest thy seruant.
21For thy words sake, and according to thine own heart hast thou done all these great things, to make thy seruant know them.
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 haue heard with our eares.
23And *what one nation in the earth is like thy people, euen like Israel, whom God went to redeeme for a people to himselfe, & to make him a name, and to doe for you great things, and terrible, for thy lande, before thy people which thou redeemedst to thee from Egypt, from the nations, and their gods?
24For thou hast confirmed to thy selfe thy people Israel to be a people vnto thee for euer: and thou, LORD art become their God.
25And now, O LORD God, the word that thou hast spoken, concerning thy seruant, and concerning his house, establish it for euer, and doe as thou hast said.
26And let thy name bee magnified for euer, saying, The LORD of hosts is the God ouer Israel: and let the house of thy seruant Dauid bee established before thee.
27For thou, O LORD of hostes, God of Israel, hast †reuealed to thy seruant, saying, I will build thee an house: therfore hath thy seruant found in his heart to pray this prayer vnto thee.
28And now, O LORD GOD, (thou art that God, and *thy words be true, and thou hast promised this goodnesse vnto thy seruant.)
29Therefore now †let it please thee to blesse the house of thy seruant, that it may continue for euer before thee: for thou, O LORD God, hast spoken it, and with thy blessing let the house of thy seruant be blessed for euer.
