1 Chronicles 17

[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29]

1CHRON 17:1 Now when David was dwelling in his house, he said to Nathan the prophet: Behold I dwell in a house of cedar : and the ark of the covenant of the Lord is under skins.
1CHRON 17:2 And Nathan said to David: Do all that is in thy heart: for God is with thee.
1CHRON 17:3 Now that night the word of God came to Nathan, saying:
1CHRON 17:4 Go, and speak to David my servant: Thus saith the Lord: Thou shalt not build me a house to dwell in.
1CHRON 17:5 For I have not remained in a house from the time that I brought up Israel, to this day: but I have been always changing places in a tabernacle, and in a tent,
1CHRON 17:6 Abiding with all Israel. Did I ever speak to any one, of all the judges of Israel, whom I charged to feed my people, saying: Why have you not built me a house of cedar?
1CHRON 17:7 Now therefore thus shalt thou say to my servant David: Thus saith the Lord of hosts: I took thee from the pastures, from following the flock, that thou shouldst be ruler of my people Israel.
1CHRON 17:8 And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast gone: and have slain all thy enemies before thee, and have made thee a name like that of one of the great ones that are renowned in the earth.
1CHRON 17:9 And I have given a place to my people Israel: they shall be planted, and shall dwell therein, and shall be moved no more, neither shall the children of iniquity waste them, as at the beginning,
1CHRON 17:10 Since the days that I gave judges to my people Israel, and have humbled all thy enemies. And I declare to thee, that the Lord will build thee a house.
1CHRON 17:11 And when thou shalt have ended thy days to go to thy fathers, I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons: and I will establish his kingdom.
1CHRON 17:12 He shall build me a house, and I will establish his throne for ever.
1CHRON 17:13 I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee.
1CHRON 17:14 But I will settle him in my house, and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be most firm for ever.
1CHRON 17:15 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak to David.
1CHRON 17:16 And king David came and sat before the Lord, and said: Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that thou shouldst give such things to me?
1CHRON 17:17 But even this hath seemed little in thy sight, and therefore thou hast also spoken concerning the house of thy servant for the time to come: and best made me remarkable above all men, O Lord God.
1CHRON 17:18 What can David add more, seeing thou hast thus glorified thy servant, and known him?
1CHRON 17:19 O Lord, for thy servant's sake, according to thy own heart, thou hast shewn all this magnificence, and wouldst have all the great things to be known.
1CHRON 17:20 O Lord there is none like thee: and there is no other God beside thee, of all whom we have heard of with our ears.
1CHRON 17:21 For what other nation is there upon earth like thy people Israel, whom God went to deliver, and make a people for himself, and by his greatness and terrors cast out nations before their face whom he had delivered out of Egypt?
1CHRON 17:22 And thou hast made thy people Israel to be thy own people for ever, and thou, O Lord, art become their God.
1CHRON 17:23 Now therefore, O Lord, let the word which thou hast spoken to thy servant, and concerning his house, be established for ever, and do as thou hast said.
1CHRON 17:24 And let thy name remain and be magnified for ever: and let it be said: The Lord of hosts is God of Israel, and the house of David his servant remaineth before him.
1CHRON 17:25 For thou, O Lord my God, hast revealed to the ear of thy servant, that thou wilt build him a house: and therefore thy servant hath found confidence to pray before thee.
1CHRON 17:26 And now O Lord, thou art God: and thou hast promised to thy servant such great benefits.
1CHRON 17:27 And thou hast begun to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be always before thee: for seeing thou blessest it, O Lord, it shall be blessed for ever.
