Shelomoh’s address to the people

1 Ki 8:14–21

2 Chr 6:3–11

14Then while all the people stood there, the king turned around and pronounced a blessing on all Yisrael, 15saying, “Blessed is Yahweh, the God of Yisrael, who spoke audibly to my father David, and then put into action the promise he’d given, 16‘From the day when I brought my people Yisrael out of Egypt, I didn’t choose a city from among all the tribes of Yisrael to build a house in so that my name would be established there. Instead I chose David to lead my people Yisrael.’ ”[ref]

17Shelomoh continued, “My father David wanted to build a temple to confirm Yahweh’s power and authority here.[ref] 18However, Yahweh told him that it was good that he wanted to build a temple for him, 19however he wouldn’t be the one to build it, because it would be his biological son who would do it.[ref]

20Now Yahweh has put his promise into action, and I’m here now having succeeded my father David—sitting on Yisrael’s throne just as Yahweh said, and I’ve been the one to build the residence for Yisrael’s God Yahweh. 21I’ve included a place for the box containing the two stone tablets with the agreement that Yahweh made with our ancestors when he brought them out of Egypt.”

2Sam 7:4-11:

4But that night, Yahweh spoke to Natan, 5“Go and tell my servant David that Yahweh says, ‘Will you build a house for me to live in? 6I haven’t lived in a house since I brought the Israelis out of Egypt right up until now, but rather I was living in a tent as they moved around. 7In all those places, I never once queried the leaders to ask why they never built a cedar house for me.’

8But now you should tell my servant David that commander Yahweh says, ‘I myself took you out of the grass field where you looked after the sheep and goats to become the leader of my people the Israelis. 9Everywhere you’ve gone, I’ve been with you and destroyed your enemies in front of you, and I will make you famous like all the famous people on the earth. 10I will establish a place for the Israelis and put them there to live, and they won’t be afraid because evil people won’t continue to oppress them like happened in the past 11when I appointed heroes (traditionally ‘judges’) over my people Yisrael. I will give you peace from all your enemies, and I, Yahweh, will enable your descendants to rule after you.

1Ch 17:3-10:

3But that night God spoke to Natan, 4“Go and tell my servant David that Yahweh says this: You yourself won’t be the one to build a residence for me to live in, 5because I haven’t lived in a building from the day that I brought Yisrael out of Egypt until today—I’ve moved from place to place and tent to tent. 6As I travelled with all the Israelis, did I ever complain to any of Yisrael’s leaders who I’d commanded to shepherd my people, and ask them, ‘Why haven’t you all built a house of cedar for me?’ ”

7So now you should tell my servant David that army commander Yahweh says this: I myself took you from the pasture, from behind the sheep, to be a leader over my people Yisrael. 8I’ve always been with you wherever you’ve gone, and I’ve defeated all your enemies who were attacking you, and I’ll make you famous like some of the greatest people in the world. 9I’ll set a place for my people Yisrael, and I’ll plant them, and they’ll settle in that place and not need to be fearful again. Violent groups won’t continue to trouble them like they’ve done before, 10and ever since the time that I put heroes and leaders over my people Yisrael. Then I’ll humble all your enemies. In addition, I declare to you that Yahweh will build a dynasty for you.

2Sam 7:1-3:

7Then the king moved into his palace, and Yahweh allowed him to have a time of peace from all his enemies. 2One day the king said to the prophet Natan, “Look, I’m here living in a house made of cedar, but God’s box is still there in a tent.”

3“Go and do whatever you consider best,” Natan replied, “because Yahweh is with you.”

1Ch 17:1-2:

17After a while when David was living in his house, he said to the prophet Natan, “Look, here I am living in a palace made of cedar, but the box containing Yahweh’s agreement is kept in a tent.” 2Go add and do what you’re planning,” Natan replied, “because God is with you.”

2Sam 7:12-13:

12when your time on earth comes to an end and you’re laid down with your ancestors, I will appoint one of your sons to be king and I will establish his kingdom.[ref] 13He’s the one who’ll build a temple for me, and I will make his descendents reign forever.

1Ch 17:11-12:

11When your time on earth is up and it’s time to join your deceased ancestors, then I’ll raise up one of your sons and establish his kingdom. 12He’ll be the one to build a temple for me and establish a dynasty that will last forever.
