1 Chronicles 17

1 Nathan first approving the purpose of David to build God an house, 3 after by the Word of God forbiddeth him. 11 He promiseth him blessings and benefits in his seed. 16 David's prayer and thanksgiving.

 17:1 ¶ Now it came to pass, x1961 as x834 David 1732 sat 3427 z8804 in his house, 1004 that David 1732 said 559 z8799 to x413 Nathan 5416 the prophet, 5030 Lo, x2009 I x595 dwell 3427 z8802 in a house 1004 of cedars, 730 but the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068 [remaineth] under x8478 curtains. 3407

 17:2 Then Nathan 5416 said 559 z8799 unto x413 David, 1732 Do 6213 z8798 all x3605 that x834 [is] in thine heart; 3824 for x3588 God 430 [is] with x5973 thee.

 17:3 ¶ And it came to pass x1961 the same x1931 night, 3915 that the word 1697 of God 430 came x1961 to x413 Nathan, 5416 saying, 559 z8800

 17:4 Go y3212 z8798 x1980 and tell 559 z8804 x413 David 1732 my servant, 5650 Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD, 3068 Thou x859 shalt not x3808 build 1129 z8799 me a house 1004 to dwell in: 3427 z8800

 17:5 For x3588 I have not x3808 dwelt x3427 in y3427 z8804 a house 1004 since x4480 the day 3117 that x834 I brought up 5927 z8689 x853 Israel 3478 unto x5704 this x2088 day; 3117 but have gone x1961 from tent 168 x4480 to x413 tent, 168 and from [one] tabernacle 4908 x4480 [to another].

 17:6 Wheresoever x3605 x834 I have walked 1980 z8694 with all x3605 Israel, 3478 spoke 1696 z8765 I a word 1697 to x854 any 259 of the judges 8199 z8802 of Israel, 3478 whom x834 I commanded 6680 z8765 to feed 7462 z8800 x853 my people, 5971 saying, 559 z8800 Why x4100 have ye not x3808 built 1129 z8804 me a house 1004 of cedars? 730

 17:7 Now x6258 therefore thus x3541 shalt thou say 559 z8799 unto my servant 5650 David, 1732 Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD 3068 of hosts, 6635 I x589 took 3947 z8804 thee from x4480 the sheepcote, 5116 [even] from x4480 following 310 the sheep, 6629 that thou shouldest be x1961 ruler 5057 over x5921 my people 5971 Israel: 3478

 17:8 And I have been x1961 with x5973 thee whithersoever x3605 x834 thou hast walked, 1980 z8804 and have cut off 3772 z8686 x853 all x3605 thine enemies 341 z8802 from before 6440 x4480 thee, and have made 6213 z8804 thee a name 8034 like the name 8034 of the great men 1419 that x834 [are] in the earth. 776

 17:9 Also I will ordain 7760 z8804 a place 4725 for my people 5971 Israel, 3478 and will plant 5193 z8804 them, and they shall dwell 7931 z8804 in their place, x8478 and shall be moved 7264 z8799 no x3808 more; x5750 neither x3808 shall the children 1121 of wickedness 5766 waste 1086 z8763 them any more, 3254 z8686 as x834 at the beginning, 7223

 17:10 And since the time 3117 x4480 that x834 I commanded 6680 z8765 judges 8199 z8802 [to be] over x5921 my people 5971 Israel. 3478 Moreover I will subdue 3665 z8689 x853 all x3605 thine enemies. 341 z8802 Furthermore I tell 5046 z8686 thee that the LORD 3068 will build 1129 z8799 thee a house. 1004

 17:11 ¶ And it shall come to pass, x1961 when x3588 thy days 3117 be expired 4390 z8804 that thou must go y3212 z8800 x1980 [to be] with x5973 thy fathers, 1 that I will raise up 6965 z8689 x853 thy seed 2233 after 310 thee, which x834 shall be x1961 of thy sons; 1121 x4480 and I will establish 3559 z8689 x853 his kingdom. 4438

 17:12 He x1931 shall build 1129 z8799 me a house, 1004 and I will establish 3559 z8790 x853 his throne 3678 forever. 5769 5704

 17:13 I x589 will be x1961 his father, 1 and he x1931 shall be x1961 my son: 1121 and I will not x3808 take y5493 z0 my mercy y2617 away 5493 z8686 x2617 from x4480 x5973 him, as x834 I took 5493 z8689 [it] from [him] that x4480 x834 was x1961 before 6440 thee:

 17:14 But I will settle 5975 z8689 him in mine house 1004 and in my kingdom 4438 forever: 5769 x5704 and his throne 3678 shall be x1961 established 3559 z8737 forevermore. 5769 5704

 17:15 According to all x3605 these x428 words, 1697 and according to all x3605 this x2088 vision, 2377 so x3651 did Nathan 5416 speak 1696 z8765 unto x413 David. 1732

 17:16 ¶ And David 1732 the king 4428 came 935 z8799 and sat 3427 z8799 before 6440 the LORD, 3068 and said, 559 z8799 Who x4310 [am] I, x589 O LORD 3068 God, 430 and what x4310 [is] mine house, 1004 that x3588 thou hast brought 935 z8689 me hitherto? 1988 x5704

 17:17 And [yet] this x2063 was a small thing 6994 z8799 in thine eyes, 5869 O God; 430 for thou hast [also] spoken 1696 z8762 of x5921 thy servant's 5650 house 1004 for a great while to come, 7350 x4480 and hast regarded 7200 z8804 me according to the estate 8448 of a man 120 of high degree, 4609 O LORD 3068 God. 430

 17:18 What x4100 can y3254 z0 David 1732 [speak] more 3254 z8686 x5750 to x413 thee for the honor 3519 of x853 thy servant? 5650 for thou x859 knowest 3045 z8804 x853 thy servant. 5650

 17:19 O LORD, 3068 for thy servant's y5650 sake, x5668 x5650 and according to thine own heart, 3820 hast thou done 6213 z8804 x853 all x3605 this x2063 greatness, 1420 in making known 3045 z8687 x853 all x3605 [these] great things. 1420

 17:20 O LORD, 3068 [there is] none x369 like thee, x3644 neither x369 [is there any] God 430 beside 2108 thee, according to all x3605 that x834 we have heard 8085 z8804 with our ears. 241

 17:21 And what x4310 one 259 nation 1471 in the earth 776 [is] like thy people 5971 Israel, 3478 whom x834 God 430 went 1980 z8804 to redeem 6299 z8800 [to be] his own people, 5971 to make 7760 z8800 thee a name 8034 of greatness 1420 and terribleness, 3372 z8737 by driving out 1644 z8763 nations 1471 from before 6440 x4480 thy people, 5971 whom x834 thou hast redeemed 6299 z8804 out of Egypt? 4714 x4480

 17:22 For x853 thy people 5971 Israel 3478 didst thou make 5414 z8799 thine own people 5971 forever; 5769 5704 and thou, x859 LORD, 3068 becamest x1961 their God. 430

 17:23 Therefore now, x6258 LORD, 3068 let the thing 1697 that x834 thou hast spoken 1696 z8765 concerning x5921 thy servant 5650 and concerning x5921 his house 1004 be established 539 z8735 forever, 5769 5704 and do 6213 z8798 as x834 thou hast said. 1696 z8765

 17:24 Let it even be established, 539 z8735 that thy name 8034 may be magnified 1431 z8799 forever, 5769 5704 saying, 559 z8800 The LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 [is] the God 430 of Israel, 3478 [even] a God 430 to Israel: 3478 and [let] the house 1004 of David 1732 thy servant 5650 [be] established 3559 z8737 before 6440 thee.

 17:25 For x3588 thou, x859 O my God, 430 hast told 1540 241 z8804 x853 thy servant 5650 that thou wilt build 1129 z8800 him a house: 1004 therefore x5921 x3651 thy servant 5650 hath found 4672 z8804 [in his heart] to pray 6419 z8692 before 6440 thee.

 17:26 And now, x6258 LORD, 3068 thou x859 art God, 430 and hast promised 1696 z8762 this x2063 goodness 2896 unto x5921 thy servant: 5650

 17:27 Now x6258 therefore let it please 2974 z8689 thee to bless 1288 z8763 x853 the house 1004 of thy servant, 5650 that it may be x1961 before 6440 thee forever: 5769 for x3588 thou x859 blessest, 1288 z8765 O LORD, 3068 and [it shall be] blessed 1288 z8794 forever. 5769
