And it came to pass, when the king had taken up his abode in his house, - and Yahweh had given him rest round about, from all his enemies, that the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See, I pray thee - I, have my abode in a house, of cedar, but, the ark of God, abideth in, the midst, of curtains. And Nathan said unto the king, All that is in thy heart, go - do, - for Yahweh is with thee. read more.
But so it was, in that night, that the word of Yahweh came unto Nathan, saying: Go and say unto my servant - unto David: Thus, saith Yahweh, - Shalt, thou, build me a house, for me to dwell in; seeing that I have not dwelt in a house, since the day that I brought up the sons of Israel out of Egypt, even unto this day, - but have been wandering in a tent as my habitation? Wheresoever I have wandered with any of the sons of Israel, spake I ever, a word, with any one of the tribes of Israel, whom I charged to shepherd my people Israel, saying, - Wherefore have ye not built me a house, of cedar? Now, therefore, thus, shalt thou say unto my servant, unto David: Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, I myself, took thee away from the pasture, from after the flock, - to become leader over my people, over Israel; and was with thee, whithersoever thou didst go, and have cut off all thine enemies, from before thee, - and will make thee a name, like the name of the great ones who are in the earth; and will appoint a place for my people, for Israel, and will plant them, and they shall inhabit their place, and be unsettled no more, - neither shall the sons of perversity again humiliate them, as at first; even from the day when I put judges in charge over my people Israel, thus will I give thee rest from all thine enemies. And Yahweh must tell thee that, a house, will Yahweh make for thee. And it shall be that, when thy days shall be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, then will I raise up thy seed after thee, which proceedeth from thine own body, - and I will establish his kingdom. He, shall build a house for my name, - and I will establish his kingly throne unto times age-abiding: I, will become his father, And, he, shall become my son: If he commit iniquity, then will I correct him, with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the sons of men; But, my lovingkindness, shall not depart from him, - as I caused it to depart from Saul, whom I caused to depart from before thee. So shall thy house and thy kingdom be made steadfast unto times age-abiding, before thee, - thy throne, shall be established unto times age-abiding. According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so, spake Nathan unto David.

Go and say unto David my servant, Thus, saith Yahweh, - Thou, shalt not build me a house, to dwell in; seeing that I have not dwelt in a house, since the day that I brought up Israel, until this day, - but have been from tent to tent, and without a habitation.

And it shall be that, when thy days are fulfilled, to sleep with thy fathers, then will I raise up thy seed after thee, who shall be of thy sons, - and I will establish his kingdom. He, shall build me a house, - and I will establish his throne unto times age-abiding. I, will become his father, and, he, shall become my son, - and, my lovingkindness, will I not cause to depart from him, - as I caused it to depart from him who was before thee; but I will cause him to remain over my house and over my kingdom, unto times age-abiding, - and, his throne, shall be established, unto times age-abiding.
