Nathan said to David, "Do all that is in your heart; for God is with you."

In all places in which I have walked with all Israel, did I speak a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people, saying, 'Why have you not built me a house of cedar?'"'

I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you. I will make you a name, like the name of the great ones who are in the earth.

I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the first,

and from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel; and I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover I tell you that the LORD will build you a house.

It shall happen, when your days are fulfilled that you must go to be with your fathers, that I will set up your seed after you, who shall be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom.

He shall build me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.

I will be his father, and he shall be my son. I will not take my loving kindness away from him, as I took it from him that was before you;

but I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom forever. His throne shall be established forever."'"

According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.

This was a small thing in your eyes, God; but you have spoken of your servant's house for a great while to come, and have respected me according to the estate of a man of high degree, LORD God.

LORD, for your servant's sake, and according to your own heart, you have worked all this greatness, to make known all these great things.

LORD, there is none like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

For you, my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build him a house. Therefore your servant has found courage to pray before you.

he sent Hadoram his son to king David, to Greet him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and struck him; (for Hadadezer had wars with Tou;) and he had with him all kinds of vessels of gold and silver and brass.

King David also dedicated these to the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he carried away from all the nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.

He put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became servants to David. The LORD gave victory to David wherever he went.
