CHAP. XVII.
1 Nathan first approouing the purpose of Dauid, to build God an house, 3 after by the word of God forbiddeth him. 11 Hee promiseth him blessings and benefits in his seed. 16 Dauids prayer and thankesgiuing.
1 Now it came to passe, as Dauid sate in his house, that Dauid sayde to Nathan the Prophet, Loe, I dwell in an house of Cedars, but the Arke of the Couenant of the Lord remaineth vnder curtaines.1
2 Then Nathan sayd vnto Dauid, Doe all that is in thine heart, for God is with thee.
3 ¶ And it came to passe the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
4 Goe and tell Dauid my seruant, Thus saith the Lord, Thou shalt not build me an house to dwell in.
5 For I haue not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought vp Israel, vnto this day, but haue gone from tent to tent, and from one Tabernacle to another.5
7 Now therefore thus shalt thou say vnto my seruant Dauid, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I tooke thee from the Sheep-coat, euen from folowing the sheep, that thou shouldest be ruler ouer my people Israel:7
12 He shall build me an house, and I will stablish his throne for euer.
13 I will be his father, and he shall be my sonne, and I will not take my mercie away from him, as I tooke it from him that was before thee.13
15 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speake vnto Dauid.
18 What can Dauid speake more to thee for the honour of thy seruant? for thou knowest thy seruant.
19 O Lord, for thy seruants sake, and according to thine owne heart, hast thou done all this greatnesse in making knowen all these great things.19
25 For thou, O my God, hast tolde thy seruant that thou wilt build him an house: therefore thy seruant hath found in his heart to pray before thee.25
26 And now, Lord (thou art God, and hast promised this goodnesse vnto thy seruant.)
27 Now therefore let it please thee to blesse the house of thy seruant, that it may bee before thee for euer: for thou blessest, O Lord, and it shalbe blessed for euer.27
