17 And it happened, when David had dwelled in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, “Behold, I, I am dwelling in a house of cedars, but the Box of the Covenant of Yahweh is under curtains.” 2 And Nathan said to David, “All that is in your heart, do, for God is with you.” 3 But it happened in that night that the word of God was to Nathan, saying, 4 “Go, and you shall say to David my servant, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “You, you shall not build for me a house for dwelling. 5 for I have not dwelled in a house from the day that I brought up Israel until this day, but I have been from tent to tent, and from a tabernacle. 6 In any place where I went about with all of Israel, did I speak a word with one of the scepters of Israel whom I commanded to shepherd my people, saying, ‘Why have you not built for me a house of cedars’?” ’

7 And now, thus you shall say to my servant, to David, ‘Thus says Yahweh of Armies, “I, I took you from the pasture, from after the flock, to be a leader over my people Israel. 8 And I have been with you in every place where you have gone, and I have cut off all of your enemies from your face. And I will make a name for you like the name of the great who have been on the earth. 9 And I have established a place for my people Israel, and I will plant him that he may dwell under him, and he will not tremble anymore. And the sons of wickedness will not continue to afflict him as at the first, 10 and from the days when I commanded judges over my people Israel. And I will humble all of your enemies. And I declare to you that Yahweh will build a house for you. 11 And it will be, when your days are full to go with your fathers, then I will raise up after you your seed who will be from your sons, and I will establish his kingdom. 12 He, he will build a house for me, and I will establish his throne to forever. 13 I, I will be a father to him, and he, he will be a son to me. And I will not turn away my covenant faithfulness from with him as I turned it away from him who was to your face. 14 And I will station him in my house and in my kingdom to forever, and his throne will be established to forever.’ ” 15 According to all of these words and according to all of this vision, thus Nathan spoke to David.

16 And King David came and sat to the face of Yahweh, and he said, “Who am I, Yahweh God, and what is my house, that you have brought me to here? 17 And this was small in your eyes, God, for you have spoken regarding the house of your servant to afar, and you have regarded me according to the rank of a man of ascent, Yahweh God. 18 What shall David add more to you about honoring your servant? For you, you know your servant. 19 Yahweh, for the sake of your servant and according to your heart, you have done all of this greatness, to make known all of the greatnesses. 20 Yahweh, there is none like you and no God except you, in all that we have heard with our ears. 21 And who is like your people Israel, the one nation on the earth whose God went to redeem for himself a people, to make for himself a great and feared name, to dispossess nations from the face of your people whom you redeemed from Egypt? 22 And you established your people Israel for yourself as a people to forever, and you, Yahweh, you became God to them. 23 And now, Yahweh, the word that you have spoken concerning your servant and concerning his house, may it be confirmed to forever, and do just as you have spoken. 24 And may it be confirmed, and may your name be great to forever, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, is God to Israel,’ and may the house of David your servant be established to your face. 25 For you, my God, have uncovered the ear of your servant, to build a house for him. Therefore your servant has found to pray to your face. 26 And now, Yahweh, you are he, God, and you have spoken this good concerning your servant. 27 And now, you have decided to bless the house of your servant, to be to your face forever. For you, Yahweh, you have blessed, so it will be blessed forever.”
